From the book jacket:

"The publication of this four-volume work by Air Force General Stanisław Karpiński is the most significant event in postwar aviation literature. Written in a memoir-style, undoubtedly based on the author’s meticulously kept personal notes, later supplemented by the recollections of others close to him and primary historical research, it is, above all, of great value as a historical work.”

Condition: BDB-/; only the dust jacket of one volume remains: slightly worn; otherwise, a NICE PIECE
