About this product

Product Information

The Conspicuous Gallantry Medal (Flying) was instituted in November 1942 to right the anomaly that no award existed for non-commissioned aircrew between the DFM and the VC, or in other words - an equivalent to the DSO for commissioned officers. Only 110 CGMs were awarded and thid book describes the events and personalities of many of those whose bravery in combat led to the awad of this very rare medal. << The first recipient was Flight Sergeant Leslie Wallace, a wireless operator with 83 Squadron, who extinguished a major fire in his Lancaster and despite his severe wounds returned to his radio unril the crippled aircraft returned to England. The final CGM was awarded to Flight Sergeant John Couglan in Vietnam, when he assissted boarding casualties in the face of heavy fire from the Vietcong. In between there are a host of tales taht recount incredible feats of courage. << Lengthy appendices list recipients of the medal and other statistics concerning the award. << AUTHOR: Alan Cooper is a well-known aviation historian and researcher. He has previously published The Men Who Breached the Dams, Beyond the Dams to Tirpitz and Bombers over Berlin. He lives in Hailsham, East Sussex. << SELLING POINTS: Vivid tales of amazing bravery. << A unique book on the mostly unsung heroes of the RAF. << Photos of recipients of the CGM (Flying) 82 b/w photos

The book is in "reasonable" condition! not vg condition as described- front cover permanent fold over on arrival, packed this way ? pages are yellowing. Seller may be best to place a description "proper" of actual book being sold on the listing with photos so buyers know what they are receiving for the price paid.
