Sobre este artículo
Canada: Buschekbooks. Good. 2000. First Edition. Paperback. 1894543033 . In WWII "Canadians took to the skies young, fit and whole. Some of them burned and were mangled. In another war they would have been hushed up, shut away in institutions or homes. But they were about to encounter the best piece of luck they had seen in a while - the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, Sussex. They were about to become members of the 'Guinea Pig Club'. Surgeons put the airmen's bodies back together, performing experimental plastic surgery. But they did more: they took the battered boys and helped rebuild their spirits, gave them back their confidence, and returned them to society. They did it without a single suicide. This is the story of the Canadian Wing of the most unusual club in the world, a club that continues to this day. Meet these 'Guinea Pigs', who not only survived, they thrived!" - back cover. 303 pages. Index, Bibliography, Footnotes, Glossary. Numerous black and white reproductions of archival photos. Clean, tight and unmarked with moderate wear. A quality copy. ; Cover Art; 8vo .
