by KEYHOE, Major Donald E.
New York: Henry Holt, 1953. First Edition. Octavo. 21cm. Publisher's black cloth titled in red and white to the spine. Dustjacket. 276pp. Clean and strong with some light bumping to spine ends and some minor scuffing to th cloth, in a dustjacket with some shallow creasing and fraying, primarily to the upper margin. A very good copy. Internally clean. One of the earliest and most forceful accounts of the UFO phenomenon, highly dramatised, and ripe with "gotcha" moments as Major Keyhoe struggles with establishment obfuscation. (Inventory #: 81619)
