Minor splatter stains to the lower page edges, else near fine in mustard colored boards with metallic brown spine titles; in a very good plus dust jacket with some shelf wear including several short tears and nicks. Front flap bears the original $9.95 price. Jacket illustration by Robert Crofut. Shot down over the enemy-infested jungle of Vietnam, Air force Lt. Colonel Hambleton evades the North Vietnamese for 12 harrowing days before being rescued. Bat-21 is the minute-by-minute re-creation of both Hambleton's ordeal and the desperate efforts of his would-be rescuers. A 1988 film (Bat*21) was adapted from Anderson's book, with Gene Hackman and Danny Glover in starring roles. The uncommon true first edition of this classic Vietnam War rescue operation.
