Mass market paperback. Zustand: Good. Alan McKnight (Maps) and Greg Beecham and Tom Beec (illustrator). First Bantam Edition Printing [stated]. xv, [1], 377, [7] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Tabular information. Maps. Bibliography. Index. Preface by Admiral William Halsey. Some page discoloration. Stamps inside front cover and on first page. Frederick Carl Sherman (May 27, 1888 - July 27, 1957) was a highly decorated admiral of the United States Navy during World War II. He commanded USS Lexington (CV-2) from 1940 until her loss in the Battle of the Coral Sea. Sherman was a three-time recipient of the Navy Cross. Promoted to vice admiral in 1945, he became Commander, United States Fifth Fleet before retiring in 1947. Upon retirement, he was promoted to admiral on the retired list. Sherman wrote Combat Command, a history of the Pacific Theater of World War II, drawing on his personal experiences. Combat Command was published in 1950 by E.P. Dutton Inc, and again by Bantam Books in 1982. A shattered Navy desperately struggles for supremacy of the biggest battlefield of World War II--the Pacific Ocean. Death in the air and blood in the water, that was the war in the Pacific. "Combat Command" covers the entire epic story of the Pacific Campaign: the savage sea battles, the grand strategies, the tragic blunders, and the tremendous sacrifices and individual heroism of our men at war.

Mass market paperback. Zustand: Good. Shelly Drowns (Maps) and Tom Beecham (Drawings) (illustrator). [8], 338, [6] pages. Fold-out color illustration inside the front cover. Illustrations. Maps. This is one of the Bantam War Book Series. Several black "X"s on bottom edge. The story of Douglas Bader is one of the most extraordinary personal sagas of World War II or indeed of any war. This is the true story of a world-famous fighter pilot, who lost both legs in an air crash. After his accident, Douglas Bader vowed to come back, to fly again. He did. The fighter tactics he evolved helped to win the Battle of Britain. Downed over France, trapped in his burning Spitfire, he escaped only because one of his artificial legs was sheared off. Twice captured, he twice escaped before being captured again for the duration. He shot down 22 enemy planes. Paul Chester Jerome Brickhill (20 December 1916 - 23 April 1991) was an Australian fighter pilot, prisoner of war, and author who wrote The Great Escape, The Dam Busters, and Reach for the Sky. Brickhill had been approached by John Pudney with a proposal to write a book on the Stalag Luft 3 mass escape. This was eventually to be published as The Great Escape. Once in England Brickhill asked the RAF about the status of a proposed history of 617 squadron, offering his services. As the RAF had made no progress in finding an author, his offer was accepted. The Great Escape was published in 1950 and brought the incident to wide public attention. The history of 617 Squadron and in particular its involvement in Operation Chastise and the destruction of dams in the Ruhr valley was published in 1951 as The Dam Busters, which sold over one million copies. Group Captain Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader, CBE, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, DL, FRAeS (/ b d r/; 21 February 1910 - 5 September 1982) was a Royal Air Force flying ace during the Second World War. He was credited with 22 aerial victories, four shared victories, six probables, one shared probable and 11 enemy aircraft damaged. Bader joined the RAF in 1928, and was commissioned in 1930. In December 1931, while attempting some aerobatics, he crashed and lost both his legs. Having been on the brink of death, he recovered, retook flight training, passed his check flights and then requested reactivation as a pilot. Although there were no regulations applicable to his situation, he was retired against his will on medical grounds. After the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, however, Douglas Bader returned to the RAF and was accepted as a pilot. He scored his first victories over Dunkirk during the Battle of France in 1940. He then took part in the Battle of Britain and became a friend and supporter of Air Vice Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory and his "Big Wing" experiments. In August 1941, Bader baled out over German-occupied France and was captured. Soon afterward, he met and was befriended by Adolf Galland, a prominent German fighter ace. Despite his disability, Bader made a number of escape attempts and was eventually sent to the prisoner of war camp at Colditz Castle. He remained there until April 1945 when the camp was liberated by the First United States Army. Bader left the RAF permanently in February 1946 and resumed his career in the oil industry. During the 1950s, a book and a film, Reach for the Sky, chronicled his life and RAF career to the end of the Second World War. Bader campaigned for the disabled and in the Queen's Birthday Honours 1976 was appointed a Knight Bachelor "for services to disabled people" Presumed First Bantam Edition.

Also includes Epilogue. This story of a young infantry captain leading men in battle in World War II is one of the most brutally honest accounts of combat ever written. Charles MacDonald was twenty-one years old when he was given command of Company I, 23rd Infantry. His men had fought their way ashore at Normandy on D plus one, had battled their way through St. Lo, and stormed the ring of pillboxes at Brest. MacDonald had never been in battle. Dirty, tired, frightened, constantly under fire, MacDonald knew that he was responsible for other men's lives--and that any mistake by him could mean their death. Charles B. MacDonald (November 23, 1922 - December 4, 1990) was a former Deputy Chief Historian for the United States Army. He wrote several of the Army's official histories of World War II. MacDonald was commissioned as a US Army officer through ROTC and deployed to Europe. By September 1944, as a 21-year-old captain, he commanded a rifle company in the 23rd Infantry Regiment. His company was intended to be part of the effort to capture the Huertgen Forest. They had been transferred north from the area which was, soon after, overrun by the Germans in the first moves of the Battle of the Bulge. They were redeployed to defend a crossroads against the German advance. After delaying the Germans long enough to allow the rest of MacDonald's division to deploy, they withdrew. He received the Silver Star for the action. While leading his company in a counterattack, MacDonald was wounded on January 17, 1945. After two months' convalescence, he was given command of another company in his old regiment, which he led until the end of the war. He also received the Purple Heart. His first book, Company Commander, was published in 1947, while his wartime experiences were fresh in his mind. Derived from a Kirkus review: A day by day account of battle action as experienced by the two companies Charles MacDonald captained. Young, modest, inexperienced, and with a real concern the men under him, MacDonald was first assigned to Company I, stationed on the Siegfried Line. Within a short time he was to know action, the repulse of a large-scale the more monotonous foxhole fighting, and finally an offensive in which he was wounded. Hospitalized, reassignment brought his transfer to Company G, the crossing into Germany, and finally into Czechoslovakia for the peace. First Bantam Edition, presumed first printing thus.
