USED BOOK

CONDITION

Good (G): Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects will be noted on the listing.

Shelf Wear - The wear that occurs as a book is placed onto and removed from a shelf. It may be to the tail (bottom) edge of the covers as they rub against the shelf, to the dust jacket or exterior of the covers (when no dust jacket is present) as the book rubs against its neighbors, or to the head of the spine which some use to pull the book from the shelf.

Foxed / Foxing - Brown spotting of the paper caused by a chemical reaction, generally found in 19th century books, particularly in steel engravings of the period.

DESCRIPTION

For Stanley Woolley, commanding officer of Goshawk Squadron, the romance of chivalry in the clouds is a myth. 

The code he drums into his men is simple and savage: shoot the enemy in the back before he knows you're there.

Even so, he believes the whole squadron will be dead within three months.

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this is Derek Robinson's masterly novel of the war in the air over the Western Front in 1918.
