ARTIFACT:
This is a rare unit history of the United States Army Air Forces 8th Reconnaissance Group ("8th Reconnaissance Group: Activities, January 1 through June 30, 1945"). Constituted in 1943, the 8th was originally designated as the 8th Photo Reconnaissance Group, and a part of the 10th Air Force. The 8th gathered intelligence, largely through aerial photography, to support tactical units throughout out the China-Burma-India theatre. The book is oversized and was printed in-theatre. The book's first page is a tribute to the 27 men of the 8th who died within the brief six-month window dealt with in the history.
