First Edition, Second Printing Of Influential Early UFO Book By Major Donald E Keyhoe The Flying Saucer Conspiracy
Keyhoe, Major Donald E. The Flying Saucer Conspiracy. Henry Holt and Company. New York. 1955. First edition, second printing.
A well-preserved copy of The Flying Saucer Conspiracy by Major Donald Keyhoe, a remarkably influential early UFO book by the noted researcher. This book is the first of Keyhoe’s writings to allege an elaborate although ultimately benign government coverup for the UFO phenomena within the Defense community. In addition to being read by Carl Jung as part of his research for his 1958 book on flying saucers, it was also read by Betty Hill in 1961 prior to her and her husband Barney’s purported UFO abduction.
315pp, red cloth boards. Minor rubbing to corners and spine ends. Pen mark “3” first free endpaper. Text block and endpapers toned but clean. Very good. Original non-price clipped dustjacket with minor wear and chipping to edges. Several small tears repaired with tape. Wear with pigment losses to spine face. Good.
