CORSAIR DOWN! Subtitled “Tales
of Rescue and Survival During WWII,” this
304-page hardbound volume by Martin
Irons takes the reader into the world of
the Corsair pilot. Even though the famed
Vought F4U was one of the war’s best
fighters, survival was not a guarantee and
the book describes what happens when the
enemy gains the upper hand, when grem-
lins cause mechanical problems, when the
weather suddenly clamps in on the pilot,
when inadequate training puts the pilot
in a dangerous situation, along with the
many other categories that could spell
trouble for a Corsair pilot. Exciting true-to-
life stories from the American, British, and
New Zealand pilots that flew the mighty
Corsair. JUST $34

HUMP DRIVERS was written
by Arthur La Vove shortly after the
end of the war and is subtitled “An
American Pilot’s Account of Flying
Over the Himalayas during WWII.”
Once completed, the manuscript,
along with associated illustrations
done by the author, was simply
put away and forgotten. Recently
rediscovered, this masterpiece of
first-person experiences is akin to
the writing of Ernest K. Gann in its
searing honesty of what it was like
to fly one of the most dangerous
routes in a forgotten part of the
war. This 192-page hardbound vol-
ume is a must for any WWII aviation
library. JUST $29

NO WAY OUT is author Steven
R. Whitby’s masterwork on one
of WWII’s most enigmatic B-24
Liberator mysteries. Subtitled
“The Untold Story of the B-24
Lady Be Good and Her Crews,”
the world was captivated in 1959
when the intact wreckage of a
B-24 was found in the Libyan des-
ert because there was no sign of
the bomber’s crew. This 256-page
hardbound volume delves deeply
into the mystery of Lady Be Good
and examines the history of the
bomber and the men that flew
her — culminating in the tragic
discovery that shocked America.
