Price: US$90.97 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: 1936 new edition from the library of Albert Cowton, author of The First In The Field and whom had known Lawrence between the wards in the RAF.

O'Brien A006. Small ex pencil price mark and with signature of A E Cowton dated 1936 otherwise clean interior with all prices tight in binding. Red cloth covers with gold titles, clean and unscuffed.
