Toutes les enchères / Médailles, armes & armures / USA - Hand-to-Hand Fighting Book "Get Tough" - by Capt W.E
VERY RARE book 'Get Tough', Hand-to-hand fighting, as taught to the British Commandos by Major W.E. Fairbairn. Extremely nice OSS-MI6 related handbook WITH original rare dustcover which is very often missing - in used but nice condition, please look at the photos carefully for an important personal impression. This is a rare early edition in nice condition, see photos. It is nicely named to the original owner on the cover (Richard Whiting). Fairbairn was a British Royal Marine officer. He developed hand-to-hand combat methods for the allied special forces during World War II. He developed innovative pistol shooting and fighting techniques and the development of the Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife. During WW2, he was recruited by the British Secret Service as an Army officer. Together with fellow close-combat instructor Sykes, Fairbairn was commissioned on the General List in 1941. He trained British, American and Canadian Commandos and No. 2 Dutch Troop, 10th Inter-Allied Commando forces, along with Ranger candidates in close-combat, pistol-shooting and knife-fighting techniques.
