| GANN, ERNEST K. In the Company of Eagles London, Companion Book Club. 1968, Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Leatherette, 5 x 7.5". 270pp - It's Spring 1917 on WWI's Western Front. French pilot, Paul Chamay, sees German pilot shoot down a French Caudron. He sees the French pilot, Raymonde LaFrenier, climb out onto the wing to escape the flames, and the German pilot shoot him in the face from point-blank range. Chamay swears revenge because the dead Frenchman was a longtime friend of his. Ernest Kellogg Gann (1910 - 1991) was an aviator, author, filmmaker, sailor, fisherman and conservationist, though best known as a skilled aviator. He flew everything from World War I aircraft to the U-2 and F-15, and brought his deep love of flight to the written page and silver screen, perhaps the b3est example being (later movie), his 1952 best-seller, "The High and the Mighty". Having studied at the Yale School of Drama, he moved to New York where he worked at Radio City Music Hall and as a commercial movie cartoonist, a stunt pilot, and barnstormer. When The Great Depression ended his career in motion pictures, he took his family to California where he worked odd jobs at Burbank Airport, and began to write short stories, but soon returned to New York, and, in 1938, began flying again. Captain Gann flew for American Airlines. Gann's major works include the novel "The High and the Mighty", "Fate Is the Hunter", and his autobiography, "A Hostage to Fortune", according to wikipedia. Deluxe CBC cover style in green leatherette with gilt rules to front and rear boards and gilt titles and "bands" to the spine. Book is immaculate. Fine/No Jacket.
