This edition from the library of Brigadier D B Rendall, a much decorated war veteran. He retired from the Army in 1977 and was advanced to CBE. He was invited by the RAC to head their Motor Cycle Department and at the same time became chief executive of the RAC Motor Cycle Training Scheme. He was ADC to the Queen from 1975 to 1977. more info here.

He has signed the book as a recognition to his friend. Also includes a letter from this friend, one of his war comrades who had given him the book. Fascinating.

Hardback in generally good condition for age.
