Near Fine condition hardback book and Near Fine condition unclipped dustjacket which looks smart in its protective cover. A smart copy. 

Lord Tedder (1890-1967) was a WWI fighter pilot who was promoted to command his first squadron barely six months after gaining his wings. His promotions and commands continued and by the start of WWII he was an Air-Vice Marshal.  His career in WWII as C-in-C Middle East and Deputy Supreme Commander in the invasion of Normandy marked him out as a highly successful and effective Commander and he succeeded Portal as Chief of the Air Staff in 1946.

A decent copy of an early biography of one of the greatest Commanders of the RAF, enhanced by his neat signature on a card.
