A fantastic 12 piece WWII collection from an identified engineer in the Army Air Forces who served in the 897th Engineering Squadron, which repaired shot up bombers to get them bombing again. It includes:- CAVU 43C, also known as the San Angelo, TX Army Air Field yearbook for 1943. CAVU stands for Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited. Great photos of air cadets and staff. About 8\" x 11\", pages are unnumbered but 100+, fully illustrated, hardback. It is in Fair condition with the spine beginning to separate and general soiling.- New York Port of Embarkation certificate, autographed on the back by 11 fellow soldiers / airmen.- Seaweed Gazette, 11 September 1945, a newsletter from the M.S. John Ericsson for those returning home from Europe. On the back is a quote from Abraham Lincoln. 8\" x 13\", 3 double-sided pages, stapled. Good condition with toning from age but still supple, not brittle.- Army Air Forces Aid Society membership card, 22 January 1945.- A Short Guide to Great Britain from the US War Department that begins \"You are going to Great Britain as part of an Allied offensive - to meet Hitler and beat him on his own ground.\" That offensive, of course, began on D Day in Normandy.- Soldier\'s Individual Pay Record. Mostly blank but with personal details.- Letter with attached membership card and pin for serving honorably in the Army Air Forces.- Army Air Forces Certificate of Appreciation- Office of Price Administration Auto Transfer Form for a 1946 Nash. I did not realize that rationing was still in effect in 1946.- The Gateway to Opportunity for Veterans of World War No. 2. This is the GI Bill, explained.- Benefits card- Immunization Register.
Good condition as shown. Pages 1-4 are stapled in reverse order by the original pilot, whose name I have. The last page is detached but otherwise the staple is tight. The pages are worn at the bottom, the longer ones have been folded down to 11\", and there is edge wear. The paper is still supple, not brittle, and the report can be read without fear.
An awesome addition to any collection. I ship every day the post office is open with your item safely packed for protection. I always combine shipping. Please see my store for more museum quality artifacts of history.
