Rare Handmade/Compiled USAAF 11th Bomb Squadron History May 1944-Oct. 1944 <p> NOT AVAILABLE

This is a rare hand-made and hand-compiled "Narrative History and Mission Reports of the 11th Bomb Squadron China 1942-45". The 11th Bomb Squadron was attached to the 14th Air Force, and the book covers their activities in the China-Burma-India theatre, especially during the Hengyang Battle. Hengyang had a railroad terminal and a strategic airport used by the American Volunteer Group (aka "Flying Tigers), and so it was a crucial target for the Japanese. The 11th flew B-25s and their missions #274-545 are detailed within. The book is not illustrated but has many tables and charts. The cover bears a wonderful hand-painted 11th insignia.

Circa 1945-1946.

69 single-sided, typewritten pages (a couple of the pages are bound out of order); approximately 14-1/2" in height and 9" in width.

Stiff paper covers, typewriter paper.

Three hole punch binding.

Some minimal handwriting inside.

This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAEJX06 LEGEX4/13 SEJJX12/14

7+ (Very Fine+): The book has some minimal handwriting inside, and underlining (please see photos). The cover has some light wear and there is slight again to the paper within, with a very small area of discoloration to one page (see photos).

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
