CHURCHILL, Sir Winston S.. A History of the Second World War. London Educational Book Company 1954, 1954.

Price: US$1624.43 + shipping

Description: Chartwell Edition, the first illustrated edition. 'Now a special edition is being published illustrated for the first time, in which all those first minor errors have been corrected. I hope these new volumes will find as much favour as the previous ones seem to have done. ' 8vo., Six volumes in red cloth, titled in gilt on brown leather spine labels, with brown leather onlay to front boards. A little scuffing to label on vol.1 affecting a few letters, otherwise a very good set. Tipped onto the endpapers of volumes four The Hinge of Fate are three original black and white photographs. The photographs show a visit by Winston Churchill to the RAF airfields at Tura, Egypt, on 22nd August 1942. The photographs were extracted from an album put together by British RAF sergeant Alec Laurence Holden documenting his time in Egpyt. Two of the images show Churchill in person, the last show the flagpole at the airbase. Churchill mentions the visit in this volume of his Second World War. "On August 22 I visited the Tura caves, near Cairo, where vital repair work was being done. Out of these caves the stones of the Pyramids had been cut some time before. They came in very handy now. The reader will have seen my perpetual complaints of the bad servicing and slowness of repairs of our aircraft and tanks [sik!]. Everything looked very smart and efficient on the spot, and an immense amount of work was being done day and night by masses of skilled men. But I had my tables of facts and figures and remained dissatisfied. The scale was far too small. The original fault lay with the Pharaohs for not having built more and larger Pyramids. Other responsibilities were more difficult to assign. We spent the rest of the day flying from one airfield to another, inspecting the installations and addressing the ground staffs. At one point two or three thousand airmen were assembled. I also visited, brigade by brigade, the Highland Division, just landed. It was late when we got back to the Embassy."
