2005. First Edition. Hard cover with dust cover, 244 pages. Very good condition, as new. Under 1kg. Between 1918 and 1986 the marine branch of the Royal Air Force provided rescue facilities, support and other services to this armed service. In its pre-1941 guise as the Air Sea Rescue service, the RAF had an inventory of over 200 motorboats, supported by float aircraft engaged in rescue, towing, refueling and servicing RAF aircraft. Amongst the many characters of this early period was none other than Lawrence of Arabia. The Marine Craft Section itself came into existence in February 1941 as a direct result of the compelling need to retrieve downed pilots from the sea. Initially the craft were lightly armed, but as the chivalry between the British and the German rescue services deteriorated, the launches became heavily armed craft, not only capable of defence but also attack. They were supported by a wide variety of aircraft, including Lysanders and Walruses. The ASR was involved in Dieppe and D-Day and operated in the Mediterranean and the Far East. During the war years alone over 13,000 aircraft crew were saved by the ASR service, in addition to the many hundreds of other servicemen whose vessels had been hit by mines or had fallen prey to submarines.

Seely (Jack). Fear and be Slain: ADVENTURES BY LAND, SEA AND AIR. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1938. The author says "safety first" is a vile motto. It certainly was not his way and his full and adventurous life, often in dangerous situations, on land, sea and in the air, in peace and war, fully back up his belief in "fear and be slain. 306pp. Very Good.

Centenary War Novelty FDC - Salved From The Sea - Dated May 6 1940 - this cover has been folded vertically as can be seen from the image, apart from which all else is good. I have only ever heard of one other cover like this, Salved From The Sea & the English gentleman in whose possession it was could not be persuaded to part with it. So this is indeed a very great find. A bit of information re: this cover This Royal Philatelic Society Cover was cancelled with the Stamp Centenary Exhibition Red Cross London red hand stamp on the first day of the exhibition 6 May 1940 and than travelled as follows: By mail boat to Montreal By air mail to Vancouver Pencilled above Air Mail Says Trans Canada Back stamped with Guaranteed BCM/Airfield London It was then sent back to Montreal by rail where it was transferred to a mail boat that was wrecked by enemy action. It was salvaged, as can be seen by the Salved From The Sea - transferred to another boat and eventually returned to Liverpool. On the back is the following address 12 Cook Street Liverpool - also on the back is the International Postage Stamp Exhibit cancellation. The explanation of events is on a piece of paper enclosed in the envelope.
