Caidin, Martin Black Thursday
New York E. P. Dutton & Company 1960 First Edition Hardcover Very Good with no dust jacket
320 pages, plates, cloth, very good. Stated first edition. From Wikipedia: "The second Schweinfurt raid bombed World War II ball bearing factories to reduce production of these vital parts for all manner of war machines. Named Black Thursday because the loss of aircrewmen was the highest for any USAAF mission. The American Official History of the Army Air Forces in the Second World War acknowledged losses had been so heavy that the USAAF would not return to the target for four months; "The fact was that the Eighth Air Force had for the time being lost air superiority over Germany". The film Twelve O'Clock High (1949) dramatized a similar, but fictitious, air raid. "

Caidin, Martin The Last Dogfight.

[6], 281 pages, cloth, DJ, very good. Stated first printing. From Wikipedia: "Caidin had many aviation adventures. He was one of the people involved in the rescue and resurrection of the Junkers Ju 52 No. 5489 that would become famous on the Warbird circuit as Iron Annie. He was one of the pilots that flew what will likely be the last-ever formation flight of B-17s across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States to England (via Canada, the Azores and Portugal) in 1961, a trip that involved a near-miss with a submarine, a brawl with KGB agents, and just barely missing ending up in jail in Portugal, an epic trip he chronicled in his book Everything But the Flak. He wrote what has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration as the standard aircraft manual for the Messerschmitt Bf 108. He flew as a pilot in the movie The War Lover. He was also one of a very few pilots ever to take a Junkers Ju-52 off in less than 400 feet."
