Description
This is a rare and highly collectible 1st edition (1987) hardcover copy of Courage, Honor, Victory by Ian Hawkins, a detailed history of the 95th Bomb Group (H) in World War II. What sets this copy apart is the personally handwritten and signed letter by the author, Ian Hawkins, inscribed on the front endpaper. The heartfelt inscription is dated June 1988 and addressed to Lt. Colonel Paul W. Pannack, USAF (Ret.), a B-17 pilot of the 379th Bombardment Group stationed in Kimbolton, England during 1943–1944. Hawkins honors Pannack’s service while gifting him this book chronicling the equally legendary 95th Bomb Group. This is more than just a book—it’s a piece of WWII history with direct ties to a decorated U.S. veteran and the author. The letter is handwritten in blue ink and is not a facsimile, making this a truly unique association copy for collectors of military history, signed editions, or 8th Air Force memorabilia. ⸻ Condition: • Book is in good condition with edge wear on the dust jacket (see photos) • Pages are clean and binding is strong • Author’s handwritten note is crisp, legible, and written in ink ⸻ Features: • Signed and inscribed by author Ian Hawkins • 1st Edition / 1st Printing • Published by the 95th Bomb Group Association • Includes rare personal dedication to a WWII B-17 pilot
