Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. First edition of With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene B. Sledge. (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. Octavo, xvi, 326pp. Brown hardcover, title stamped in gilt. First edition, with no additional printings on copyright page. Clean text throughout, even toning, a near fine example. In publisher's very good, first state dust jacket, $15.95 retail price on front flap, ISBN number on rear flap, sunning to spine, short closed tears along top edge, a very good example. This memoir by E.B. Sledge, which recounts his time as a marine during World War II in the South Pacific, is considered one of the finest war memoirs ever written by a soldier. It began as notes that Sledge kept in his bible during the battles and which he sporadically wrote down after returning to the United States. This work, which went largely unnoticed when it was first published in 1981, has become an important first-person narrative of the Pacific theater. It was the inspiration for the HBO miniseries, The Pacific, and Ken Burns PBS series, The War.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. First edition of With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa, inscribed by E.B. Sledge to a fellow soldier at Okinawa and by his commanding officer, Sergeant Romus "R.V." Burgin. (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. Octavo, xvi, 326pp. Brown hardcover, title stamped in gilt. First edition, with no additional printings on copyright page. Clean text throughout, faint wear a tips of spine, largely unread. In the publisher's first state dust jacket, $15.95 retail price on front flap, ISBN number on rear flap, shallow chipping along top edge, faint sunning to spine, bright illustrations. Housed in custom black cloth clamshell, title in gilt on red morocco label on spine. This copy is signed by Sergeant Romus R.V. Burgin above the inscription by Sledge. The inscription by Sledge reads: "To Jim Kronaizl, Best wishes to an old K-3-5 mortar section buddy & a helluva fine Marine. I'm grateful to have fought alongside you - & even more grateful you survived that wound on Okinawa - (I thought you were a gone buddy when that shell exploded). God Bless you, Semper Fidelis, Gene Sledge." Arguably the best association copy we've seen from E.B. Sledge to a fellow Marine. Sledge on his friend Jim Kronaizl on Okinawa in 1945: "I had seen mortar shells coming toward us, so I got the binoculars and was watching our front. Six or eight buddies were behind me playing cards around an ammo box. I said, "You guys better look out, that Jap gunner is walking those shells right down this little valley." Well, I got what a Marine usually got in a case like that, 'Oh hell, Sledgehammer, you're just nervous in the service.' So I said, 'Okay I'm telling you, you'd better look out.' At that moment, there was a terrific crash as a shell exploded right down in front of me down at ground level. The concussion knocked me off my feet and down into the foxhole-amazingly, I was still standing upright. How in God's name I didn't get my head blown off I'll never know, but poor Kronaizl received a bad wound in the head and was carried to the nearby aid station." Sledge wrote about Jim Kronaizl in an article contributed to The Cost of War by John W. Denson (p. 371). Jim Kronaizl was from the Dakotas and worked on a large wheat farm. Because of the injuries he suffered at Okinawa, he suffered from seizures for the rest of his life. He wrote to Sledge: "Sledgehammer, I had to give up the farm, and if you can believe it, loving the outdoors like I do, I am now in a damn insurance office." Jim was awarded the Purple Heart and discharged with the rank of Corporal in December 1945. He passed away in 2017. Additional provenance available upon request.

Zustand: very good condition. An Ace is generally accepted as a fighter pilot who has shot down five or more enemy aircraft. Since the beginning of air fighting each war and campaign has produced its air aces. This book not only describes the fighting careers of the famous fighter pilots, but places their achievements in the context of the conditions under which they fought. For example, the 352 victories of the Luftwaffe ace Erich Hartmann could only have been gained over the Russian Front in World War II. - Air combat began over the Western Front in World War l, where Immelmann and Boelke of Germany, Albert Ball of Britain and Guynemer of France all won early acclaim. Their lone-wolf tactics gave way later in World War l to swirling dogfights between large formations of fighters and in such combat new aces emerged. Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, was the leading German ace with 80 Allied aircraft destroyed, followed closely by Ernst Udet and Werner Voss. On the Allied side were Mannock, McCudden, and Bishop of the British Empire, with Fonck and Nungesser of France. - In the early years of World War II the Luftwaffe had the advantage, many of the German aces, including Galland and Molders, being experienced veterans of the Spanish Civil War. Yet their opponents in the RAF were quick to learn, as the careers of Bader, Tuck, Johnson, Malan and the night fighter ace, John Cunningham, were to demonstrate. - The United States' entry into the war produced a new crop of aces, with men like Gabreski and Johnson in Europe and Bong and McGuire in the Pacific. The war in Russia saw the greatest air battles and the highest personal scores of all time. The Soviet ace, Ivan Kozhedub, was the top Allied ace with 62 kills, but this achievement was dwarfed by that of the two Luftwaffe top scorers, Hartmann with 352 kills and Barkhorn with 301. - The Jet age has also produced its aces, notably the successful USAF pilots of the Korean War, where Sabre pilots knocked down 829 Communist aircraft for the loss of only 78 of their own fighters. Vietnam added to the roll of American aces and the Arab-Israeli and Indo-Pakistan Wars saw many combats between Jet fighters. The story is brought up to date with an account of the air war over the Falkland Islands and the successes of the Royal Navy Sea Harrier pilots. - This exhaustively researched book contains a wealth of information on the air aces of modern warfare. Tables give statistics on all wars since 1914, including lesser known ones like the Russian Civil War and the IndoPakistan conflicts. Individual biographies are included on the greatest aces Lufberry, Gabreski, Galland and Bong to name but a few. More than 250 color and black and white photographs many of them rarely seen, show the aces and aircraft they flew. 192 p. more than 250 color and black and white photographs Hardcover with dust jacket, large format.
