Honesty in dedication award goes to...

Dedication found in: Famous bombers of the Second World War by William Green - To my wife, Marianne, whose complete indifference towards all things aeronautical I find so refreshing

Notable items from the same batch

The use of the Rontgen ray by the Medical Department of the United States Army in the War with Spain (1898).  Published in 1900. 

Report of the operations of the British National Society for Aid to the Sick and Wounded in War during the Servo-Bulgarian War, 1885-6.

 Quick triva answer - the Serbian-Bulgarian war, which resulted in recognition of Bulgaria's unification, provided the background for George Bernard Shaw's play Arms and the Man

  1. And did you know that the British National Society for Aid to the Sick and Injured of War became the Red Cross Society in 1905?
