Spitfire Books: The Eagle And The Hawk (1967) By Alec Carstairs
 
Dog Fighting in all its tension and heroism
 
Part of 'Spitfire Books'.
 
In the mid-60s, the successful British publishing house of Wm Collins Sons added to their imprints the small-sized paperback "Spitfire" books. Measuring a diminutive 5" x 3.5" they were roughly halfway between Whitman's Big Little Books and normal sized paperbacks. Since the font size was standard, each page was half of what a regular book would have and with the books running just 120+ pages, each story was more a novella than a book. This made it a good fit for young readers.
