Description
SO MANY – Impressive large-format coffee table book in like-new condition — an exceptional gift about the RAF
Impressive large-format coffee table book in like-new condition — an exceptional gift about the RAF and Bomber Command.
“SO MANY” is a distinguished large-format volume devoted to the aircrew of RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War. Produced in an elegant and prestigious edition, this beautifully bound hardback features:
• Fine textured cloth binding
• Silver hot-foil stamped RAF crest and title on the cover
• Original dust jacket
• Satin ribbon bookmark
The book honours the airmen who served with Bomber Command between 1939 and 1945. Each profile combines personal testimony, period photography, memorabilia, and narrative that together pay tribute to their courage, endurance and sacrifice. The volume is both historically significant and visually striking.
Originally described by The Financial Times as “probably the most expensive book in the world” in its limited edition form, this edition brings the work to a wider audience while retaining the dignity and quality of the first printing.
This copy is in LIKE NEW condition, with pristine pages, sharp corners, and an intact dust jacket — a superb addition to any RAF or World War II aviation library.
“All your operations were planned with great care and skill. They were executed in the face of desperate opposition and appalling hazards. They made a decisive contribution to Germany’s final defeat. The conduct of these operations demonstrated the high gallant spirit which animated your aircrews, and the high sense of duty of all ranks under your command. I believe that the master achievements of Bomber Command will long be remembered as an example of duty nobly done.”
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL
