Includes numerous b&w illustrations.

Makes available the original Pilot's Directions provided by the U.S. Post Office's Air Mail Service to transcontinental flyers in 1921

This is a very good book (i.e., a 4 on a 5 point scale), which is more than I expect when I buy a book.
This is a history of the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II. It covers operations in the Balkans. This involved supplying arms and equipment to Yugoslavian partisans fighting German forces. This is 'one of the most important early experiences in the history of Air Force special operations'.
The book is well written and well ilustrated, with maps.
