The Lakeside Press. Dimensions: height of nearly 7 inches by width of 4.5 inches. Condition: New, shrink wrapped, unopened. This is the autobiography of Rickenbacker (1890-1973), an aviation hero of the Great War as a member of the U.S. Air Service, the precursor of the Air Force. In this memoir, he pays particular attention to the experiences of Lt. Quentin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt’s son. ”Eddie Rickenbacker was the top American fighter ace in World War I and Medal of Honor recipient. The Flying Circus was the name given to the flying squadron lead by the notorious Red Baron. This is the true account written by the American Ace of Aces.” Rickenbacker went on to be a famous race car driver and eventually the head of Eastern Air Lines. The Lakeside Classics are reprints of fascinating first-person accounts in American history. These special books were not issued for sale. Rather, Donnelley printed a particular title each year and distributed it to employees and customers as a holiday gift. I have listed other titles from this series, so please watch for them. Books in this series are of particular interest to scholars and students of American history who seek contemporary narratives.
