Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. This copy appears to be unread and has light dulling down to the jacket. This title is not meant to be an autobiography or a history, it is a bit of both. What the book depicts, is the psychological strength of New Zealand soldiers and soldiering in human terms, there is nothing which the well - trained and well - led Maori / Pakeha soldier combination cannot achieve. This has been acknowledged and documented by those who should know, our opponents and our comrades in arms. New Zealanders operate on the simple premise that there is no point in being second in the serious business of soldiering, and for this reason they will not accept inferior leadership or performance. Rennie has been quoted as saying that there is nothing as fulfilling as serving with New Zealanders in an atmosphere of mutual confidence and respect - and it is a relationship as unique as it is effective which is the measure in this book.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Soldier Sailor and Airman Too By Woody Woodhall and Paul Shackleton (Photographs by) Hardback, with jacket. Minor shelf/edge wear, minor tanning, scuffed corners on jacket. 304 pages Published by Willsonscott Publishing, 2008 ISBN: 1877427268 photographs 24.5 x 18 centimetres 'SOLDIER, SAILOR AND AIRMAN TOO is a comprehensive history of the life and career of Group Captain A.B. Woodhall. His story provides a unique slice of British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Airforce history, spanning both World Wars and finishing in New Zealand. Not only can his story be read as a biography of an extremely accomplished and heroic figure, this book also provides an extensive historical insight into the myriad events he was involved in over this period of time. From beginnings that would be enough to deter most - being severely wounded to the point of paralysis as a sniper at Beaumont Hamel 1916 and subsequently evacuated back to England; Soldier, Sailor and Airman Too covers Woody's military career through both wars, touches on his flying with Douglas Bader and volunteering to make an emergency drop of an artificial leg to Bader when he was downed and taken prisoner in Germany. Working as a controller in the Great Battle of Britain, Woody was awarded the OBE and given investiture by the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace as well as being promoted to Group Captain. Woody encountered some strife in the bombings of Duxford and Tangmere, where he was Group Captain, but went on to establish a radio listening service in Malta resulting in foxing the German Controller! Woodhall writes extremely well and gives exceptional attention to detail.…
