The Big Show: The Greatest Pilot's Story of World War II - For the first time complete and unabridged Clostermann, Pierre Book Description: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2004. Hardcover. Book Condition: Very good; just slight handling signs on the spine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Not Price Clipped. 8vo. Pierre Clostermann, DSO, DFC*, was one of the RAF’s top scoring aces during World War II who, exiled from France joined the RAF aged 19. He spent the next five years flying missions over Europe, and, unlike many friends, survived to the end of the war. He had 33 confirmed kills to his name by his early twenties. Universally recognised as one of the greatest pilot memoirs ever written, this book was drawn from his wartime diaries and was published soon after the war in an abridged state because of paper rationing. Now you can read in full his frighteningly evocative stories!

Hardcover. The author joined the Hitler Youth in 1933 and volunteered to become a paratrooper to halve his presumed four year service. He was rebellious to discipline and this book is a personal record of service from uncritical fervour to war-weary veteran who was there from beginning to the bitter end: Poland 1939, Holland and Narvik 1940, Crete 1941, Russia 1941-3, Sicily and Southern Italy 1943, Normandy 1944, Holland and the lower Rhine 1944-45, and then a PoW in England following his capture by the 6th Airborne Division. We witness his development from an eager soldier desperate for action, into a war-weary veteran wanting mainly to bring his men home safely. Book Condition: Very good; just slight handling signs.

Hardcover. 410 pp, 38 plates, 6 maps. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Not Price Clipped. First English Edition. 8vo. Alexander Stahlberg's very personal account of the thirteen dramatic years between 1932 and 1945 combines the most interesting details of the personalities involved including Hitler and his entourage, Goering , von Manstein, the Duke and Duchess of York – with historical events. As a member of a rich Prussian family, Stahlberg moved in the highest political and military circles. To avoid joining the Nazi party he enlisted as a Trooper and served in France, Flanders and Northern Russia becoming subsequently ADC to Field Marshal von Manstein. He witnessed von Stauffenberg's attempt to recruit von Manstein into the military conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. The book is notable for its sketches of the personalities of the time and what went on behind the war. The book portrays his dealings with Hitler, from the first confused telephone conversation to the news of the Fuehrer’s death. A graphic account of Stahlberg’s conflict between duty and conscience.
