Illustrated with Photographs and Map Facts about May 10-11; also includes Acknowledgments and The Eyewitnesses. Richard Collier (1924-1996) was an English journalist, military historian and novelist. Collier joined the RAF in 1942 and was War Associate Editor of Lord Mountbatten's magazine Phoenix: An Allied Magazine for All Allied Forces in South East Asia. After the war, he joined the Daily Mail as a feature writer. Collier interviewed 596 people to get this dramatic, completely authentic story. In this work he has blended these hundreds of vivid accounts into an unforgettable first-hand picture of what happened that historic night. For his 1971 biography of Mussolini, Collier employed three administrative assistants to coordinate the work of 30 research assistants and eight translators. The book's New York Times reviewer found the book easy to read and entertaining. Collier's 1974 The Plague of the Spanish Lady was the first book-length treatment of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918–19. For the book Collier advertised around the world, asking for memories and eyewitness accounts. The correspondence which he collected is now held by the Imperial War Museum. More

Philadelphia: Chilton Book Company, 1969. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. [8], 155, [5] pages. References. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads To Michael with best wishes -- Bill Hallstead Ruxton, Md. Christmas, 1975. The story of the rocket factory near Zajecar and the campaign to destroy it is fiction. But the Nazis actually did develop several surface-to-air missiles late in World War II, although too late to use them effectively. Similarly, the Azon guided bomb was used by the USAAF in the closing months of World War II, and later models were employed in Korea. Mr. Hallstead has underlaid his story with solid technical fact. His B-24s and Focke-Wulf 190s are portrayed as accurately as research permits. Much of the background he has lived himself, from the inside out, as a crew member on a B-24 Liberator in the 15th Air Force during World War II. Details of aircraft described in the story are as accurate as research permits. The 456th Bomb Group (H) and the 747th Squadron were based near Cerignola, Italy, and the base was much as described. However, the events in the story, and the cast of characters, with the exception of General Graz Mihailovic and Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering, are entirely fictitious. The author apologizes for the sentimental use of the 456th Group and the 747th Squadron designations. They were the group and squadron in which he served as a B-24 radio operator/gunner in 1945. More
