Air Commando by Serge Vaculik
Condition: Acceptable vintage condition: There is wear evident on the cover - marks/creases/rubbing/folds etc. First page appears to have been removed. There are several pages of images loose in the centre and a couple are actually out - they are still in there however - a little creased on the sides. The other still appear ok.
Notes: Scarcely seen vintage paperback. Unsure of the publication year.
Plummeting into enemy occupied territory in the blackness of night, the shock of landing, betrayal, the rattle of machine guns and crash of mortars. Such was the reception given to Serge Vaculik and his fellow parachutists. After being tortured by the Gestapo he and six survivors faced a firing squad, but by a miracle Vaculik and one companion escaped to the friendly Maquis. But this experience was prefaced by something fully as exciting and dangerous, Vaculik's escape after Dunkirk and his flight to England across France and Spain. Here is a true story of courage and adventure second to none!
