the Dominions; Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa or nations overrun by the Nazis; Poles, Czechs, Free French. So direly needed was every pilot that a blind eye was turned on thenationality of the applicant for Fighter Command; one such man was Arthur ‘Art’ Donahue, an American hailing from the corn fields of Minnesota. Donahue was a humble and unprepossessing man, but despite his self-effacing nature his bravery in joining ‘The Few’ during their time ofgreatest need is a testament to his keen sense of justice. Having been a pilot for some years before joining he was almost immediately thrown into the frontline fighting and in short order downed a BF 109, the ‘ratlike’ Messerschmitt that hunted the skies. His luck did not hold for long in thefrenzied fighting in the skies as he was shot down and badly burnt facially. Amazingly he decided after a brief recuperation to get ‘back in the saddle’ and was flying again with 64 Squadron in the melee in the air. His recounts his experiences with wit, humility and frank honesty; a valuable historical memoir of one of the famous airmen that saved Britain, it is all the more poignant as two years later he was shot down over the English Channel and his body was never recovered.’ Near fine in very good jacket.

The University of the State of New York, Albany, 1943. An apparent facsimile. 62 pp. From the preface: ‘In February, 1942, the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, in cooperation with John W. Studebaker, U.S. Commissioner of Education,requested the public schools of the country to construct and ship to Navytraining centers scale model aircraft which would be suitable for teachingidentification of airplanes and range estimation to the men in service. The quota for the entire country consisted of 500,000 models of fifty different designs. Quotas were assigned to the various states and territories. The first quota for New York State was 60,000 scale models... From the receiving centers, the model planes are forwarded to Navy training bases and ships. They are used for teaching identification of American, British, Russian, German, Italian, and Japanese aircraft. During the spring, many industrial arts classes in the state dropped their regular shop work and devoted their time exclusively to the making of these model planes. Before August,approximately 40,000 had been constructed and sent to the Navy bases from the industrial arts classes in New York State schools. In the fall of 1942, a new request for additional planes was is-sued. Thirty new plane designs of the various countries were placed in production. New York State’s quota for the year 1942-1943 is approximately 40,000 models. This booklet has been prepared fordistribution to the industrial arts teachers of the state with the expectation that the methodsproposed will be adopted by a large number of teachers, thereby increasing the production for the state, and at the same time decreasing the amount of time and work required.’ Very good.
