    Description

    This auction is for a pre-owned illustrated hardback book that appears to have several signatures on a back endpage - my guess is squadron members - book was signed when I obtained it:

    Again - I believe the signatures on a back endpage are from members of the subject.
    Example - Robert K. Douglas 64th is the first signature - and he can be found on the Personnel Roster on page 175 beneath 64th Fighter Squadron - Officers
    This is a recent and local estate sale find - Estate of McMarrell - Eureka, Montana
    Name written inside front cover.
    Different name and address label inside front cover
    Moderate to heavy
    signs of wear, age, handling and storage.
    Heavy due to dents along cover edges
    Otherwise moderate scuffs, rubs, and light soiling to covers and edges.
    I have found no pages to be loose or missing - some weak areas within binding from book being forced open or flat.
