Caught in the Act : The Story of My Life (Signed)

302pp, 16pp black and white photographic plates. Blue cloth-covered boards, silver titles on spine. Signed and inscribed by author on title page 'To Brian, With best wishes, Richard Todd'. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket price unclipped. 8vo. Delightful first volume of autobiography (the story ends in the early 50s with Todd at the height of his fame) which tells of his idyllic rural childhood in Northern Ireland. Relates when he was a member of the 6th Airborne Division and the first man of the main force to parachute out over Normandy on D-Day.
