Item Description: I am selling the book TO COCK A CANNON -- A PILOT'S VIEW OF WORLD WAR II THROUGH THE EYES OF A NAVAL AVIATOR by D. A. Pattie, copyright and published in 1983. This is a First Edition. The book measures approximately 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and is 146 pages long. The hardbound book (no dust jacket) is in very good condition. This volume was published by Pattie Properties, Inc. of Zephyrhills, Florida. Black-and-white photos and maps illustrate the text. <P>In the book's Preface, the author states "If inquiry were made into events occurring in the United States during World War II, I would be a poor source of information. From 1939 to 1946, my life was completely dominated by the military. This document, covering my experiences as a Naval aviator during the war years, is intended to satisfy the interest and curiosity of family and friends. Others may also find the story of interest. <P>Regarding the Title: A cannon is fired by lighting a fuse. It cannot be "cocked' in the sense one would cock a gun. Years ago, if a person had only rudimentary knowledge of a subject under discussion but attempted to impress others by professing to be an authority, someone might ask with sarcasm "What do you know about War? You never cocked a cannon." Figuratively speaking, I have, and in these pages will attempt to describe some of my experiences for the benefit of the reader." <P>If shipping within the USA, buyer will pay $3.75 for media mail s/h. Payment can be made by money order or through PayPal. <P>I sell used books. The items come from many different sources and may have been exposed to pet, smoke or other odors in a previous home.
