Quote from inner flap of dust jacket:  With more than 400 stunning illustrations, here is the gripping and unforgettable story of the B-17 - the greatest fighting plane of World War II - and of the gallant crews who made history in the legendary FLYING FORTRESS ... Book Club Edition

 

 

 

Book is in fair to good used condition with moderate to heavy signs of wear, age, handling and storage.  Scuffs, rubs and dents to covers and edges.  A retail store stamp on endpages and visible on closed page edges.  Penciled note and price on first endpage.  Age-yellowing to dust jacket and page edges.  Page edges of binding are uneven, but I have found no pages to be loose or missing.  Dust jacket has clear tape repairs (extensive) to back and tears to edges.
