The Blue Max – Signed by Jack D. Hunter to Ken Greenfield

This is an extraordinary association copy of The Blue Max, personally inscribed and signed by author Jack D. Hunter to Ken Greenfield, founder of Der Rittmeister Militaria. The book is a Bantam paperback edition, with full text intact and a historic provenance linking one of the most important WWI aviation novels to a well-known figure in the militaria collecting world.

The handwritten inscription reads:
“To Ken Greenfield – with profound thanks and deep gratitude for your enthusiastic approval of my work. How good it is to have such a friend! Best always – Jack D. Hunter”

This warm and genuine message not only confirms Greenfield's early connection to Hunter’s work but elevates the book to a prized collectible for both literary enthusiasts and those interested in the legacy of Der Rittmeister.

While the book shows standard aging for a mass-market paperback—some cover wear, tanning to the pages—it remains structurally sound and complete. The inscription is bold and clear in black ink on the title page.
