Description
An interesting book - I can't find another on the Net:
The Mailman and the International Brotherhood of Airmen
by
Werner P. Roell
PB, 5.75 x 8.25", 120 pages
Published by the author?
It seems to revolve around an incident towards the end of the war when an American airman was about to be executed when a Luftwaffe officer stepped in and saved his life
Years later their paths somehow crossed
I think the bulk of it is extracts from letters by the American to his family about his training and war service
I haven't taken too many scans, as the book is what is (I think oddly) termed 'perfect bound', meaning that its pages are glued rather than stitched. In practice, such books need careful handling or they fall apart...
But still, it is a great rarity!
Please click on the scans to 'supersize' them and read the text or see the details of the images

Payment
Items will almost always come out to you next day. I always get a Proof of Posting certificate, and if an item does get lost in the post I will forward it to you for you to make a claim, as the Post Office will not reimburse Sellers for their actual loss on the item, but will only refund what we originally paid for it. You as the Buyer can claim the full amount of your loss
However, in over 12,000 parcels I've mailed out over the last fifteen years only about ten have gone astray, and most of these were overseas
If you're at all worried about losing something, do ask for Recorded Delivery - £1.30 extra in the UK and £5.65 for overseas
Shipping
Non-UK buyers I will mail you as soon as possible with both Airmail and Surface postal charges (or just Airmail if it's a very light item) - please don't pay until we've communicated on this. Please use PayPal. (I'm afraid I can only take cheques or postal orders if they are UK ones)
Airmail takes between three and five days. The Post Office warns that Surface mail to the USA, Australia, etc, can take as long as 12 weeks, but it is, obviously, a lot cheaper
In practice, American buyers tell me that Surface mail usually takes between 14 and 21 days (and apparently it actually travels by air, filling any space after the official Airmail items are loaded)
