Gregg, Nothing in alibri.com, amazon.com and borders.com. Is this like a BG "yearbook" type or an actual book. I could not tell by the link. On the alibri.com site one can go after old, unusual, little found, rare and "niche" type books, but no luck in digging around there. Good Hunting! Best Regards! Steven
Best Regards!

I should have worded it better, I have a copy and just was wondering if anyone else has ever come across another copy recently. My father brought it home from the war. It was published in early 1942 just after the Attack on Hickam. In the book General Tinker is their new Commander, he was killed soon after the photo was taken. He was lost with his plane and crew in the Pacific. But what he was trying to do with bombers is believed to had lead to our victory over the Japanese. Tinker was pushing for long distance bombing runs. They flying on a returned English B-24, you would know the correct name, when he went down.
