V M Yeates wrote his classic novel Winged Victory in 1934 shortly before he tragically died with TB contracted whilst flying in 1918.
Does anyone have a copy of the 1934 USA edition with the dust cover as I would like to know what Henry Williamson wrote as the blurb on the cover.

I didn't know there was an American Edition.
I have a paperback dated 1969 which carries a tribute to V.M.Yeates by Williamson and is dated January 1935 but this is presumably not what you want; it runs to 7 pages.
There is a further preface to the hardback 1961 edition from H.W. and this is a page in length. I would be happy to send a copy, if it is of interest.

Thanks Peter for the message.
I have the editions you mention - the 1934 USA edition was published in 1934 by Harrison Smith & Robert Haas shortly after it came out in England. I do have a copy of this edition but minus dust wrapper, hence the enquiry.
