kyhistorian01 Posted February 12, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 12, 2011 Here is an original copy of the book Mr Tettley's Tennants, a record of the 4th Fighter Group, 8th AF written by one of its members Capt Grover Hall in 1944. Published in England fo the men of the unit when the war was still going on, its a great record of the unit formed out of the RAF Eagle Squadron. This copy was presented by the officers of the unit to Brig Gen Jesse Auton and came with the grouping I have of him. I thought I would share some select pages including the presentation card I found inside. Robert Part 1 cover and title page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustanglimey Posted July 2, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 2, 2020 I have a copy of this. Anyone have an idea of valuation. dust cover is pretty good, book is near perfect apart from one minor “tea” stain on a page about 5mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted July 28, 2020 Share #6 Posted July 28, 2020 I have a original copy too that is part of a 4th FG pilots group I own. It doesn't seem like many of these change hands. When they do, they can get pricey.... JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
