About This Item
St. Paul: Zenith Press, 2005. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 287 pp., b/w frontis, b/w photos, maps, bib., index. The story of Jimmy Stewart's World War II aviation career. Hard cover book in v.g. cond., d/w v.g. or better cond. Not price-clipped. A very unusual copy. Signed on the half-tilt p. by "Col. Walter Stewart, 93rd Bomb Gp, 380th Sqdrn., 8th Air. Force." Walter Stewart, no relation to Jimmy Stewart the actor, piloted a B-24, in fact the first plane(Utah Man) in at the giant raid of Ploesti. He flew 32 missions & received the Silver Star & DSC. In a 2 p.+ hand written note on blank pp. near the start of the book Walter Stewart explains in detail about Jimmy Stewart's role during the war & how seriously Jimmy took pilot & plane losses. So seriously in fact that command was worried about Jimmy's mental health. Ultimately Jimmy was transferred to Walter's position when Walter left for another assignment. A one of a kind book.
