WWII Flying MANUAL Planes WORLD WAR II 1940 Signed LEIUT 48th PURSUIT Squadron


The 48th Flying Training Squadron (48 FTS) is part of the 14th Flying Training Wing based at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. It operates T-1 Jayhawk aircraft conducting flight training.
The 48th constructed and maintained airfields and related facilities in France between 1917 and 1919. It trained aviation personnel from 1927 to 1931 and from 1933 to 1936.
The squadron was equipped with P-38 Lightnings in 1941 and assigned to Hamilton Field, California. From 5 February to 3 June 1942 it flew air defense patrols along the California coast. It was deployed to the European Theater of Operations (ETO) in August 1942 to fly escort missions of B-17 and B-24 heavy bombers as part of VIII Fighter Command.
The squadron was sent to North Africa in late 1942 as part of the Operation Torch invasion forces, taking up station in Algeria. It was reassigned to the Twelfth Air Force and flew fighter escort missions for the B-17 Flying Fortresses operating from Algeria as well as tactical interdiction strikes on enemy targets of opportunity in Algeria and Tunisia during the North African Campaign.
Following the German defeat and withdrawal from North Africa the squadron participated in the Allied invasions of Sicily and Italy and the subsequent drive of the United States Fifth Army up the Italian peninsula. It was engaged primarily in tactical operations after November 1943, supporting ground forces and attacking enemy targets of opportunity such as railroads, road convoys, bridges, strafing enemy airfields and other targets. The squadron was deployed to Corsica in 1944 to attack enemy targets in support of the Free French Forces in the liberation of the island and to support Allied forces in the invasion of southern France. The squadron continued offensive operations until the German capitulation in May 1945. The unit was demobilized during the summer and fall 1945 in Italy and inactivated.
It was reactivated in 1946 to the new Air Defense Command to perform air defense of the eastern United States. The 48th FIS was activated at Dow Field in November 1946 with P-47 Thunderbolts. In October 1947 a transition into P-84B Thunderjets was completed. These were flown until the unit was temporarily deactivated on 2 October 1949.
The 48th FIS was reactivated in November 1952 at Grenier Air Force Base in Manchester, New Hampshire, with F-47 Thunderbolts, replacing the New Hampshire ANG's 133d FIS. A relocation to Langley AFB was completed in early 1953 along with a transition into F-84Gs and then F-94C Starfires in the fall of 1953. In the summer of 1957 the squadron completed a transition into F-102A Delta Daggers followed by another in the fall of 1960 to F-106 Delta Darts. It deployed to Florida in 1962 during Cuban Missile Crisis. The 48th FIS flew F-15A Eagles from 1982 to 1991, where many of the F-15 were transferred to the Missouri ANG, the Hawaii ANG, and 3 or 4 going to AMARC. The 48th continued training and operational exercises until inactivation in 1991.[1]
Currently the squadron specializes in the tanker and airlift track of specialized undergraduate pilot training. Students receive at least 159 hours of flight instruction in the T-1 Jayhawk where they learn air refueling procedures, tactical navigation, airdrop, and advanced navigation. Upon completion of this phase, students earn the aeronautical rating of pilot and receive their Air Force wings.[2]

HISTORY OF THE US NAVAL OPERATIONS in WWII 15 VOLUME SET world war two
Up for auction is this 15 book set of the History of United States Naval Operations in World War II by Samuel Morison. This is a complete set of the books unfortunately, as we were looking through the books we found that the publishing dates are different for each book. The books never changed as they were reprinted, so they're the same as the original, but most are from the 80s, and no newer than 1990, with the oldest being from 1953. the list of dates and the corresponding books is below. The books have wear on the covers and spines from use. The bindings are all strong. And for the most part, the pages are clean and crisp with the occasional page with pencil on it in the beginning of the book and also some loose papers and newspaper clippings that are unrelated are also inside. Overall, this is still a great set and it's rare to see in complete form regardless of publication dates.

MEIN KAMPF Adolf Hitler GERMANY NAZI the 3rd Reich WORLD WAR II WW2

MEIN KAMPFOriginal 1933 First American Edition of “Mein Kampf (My Battle)” by Adolf Hitler :: Published by Houghton Mifflin Company: Boston :: Measures 5 1/4 x 8 1/2" :: Complete with 297 Pages.
Mein Kampf is the infamous autobiography and political manifest of Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party of Germany. This is the First American Edition translated by E.T.S. Dugdale, authorized with consent of Verlag Frz. Eher Nachf G.M.B.H. Muchen Germany. Mein Kampf describes Hitler's ideologies for Germany to become the masters of the world using the main thesis of "the Jewish peril," detailing an alleged Jewish conspiracy to gain world leadership.
Like 'New Russia's Primer' Herr Hitler's Mein Kampf was written not as propaganda for foreign consumption, but for the instruction and guidance of those already committed to his movement--for those, as he says in the preface who "belong to it in their hearts." It is a significant historical document, in which the leader of a successful revolution, the actual head of a great European state, tells the story of his life, traces the growth of his social, economic, and political philosophy, and states both his aims and his methods. The writing of the first part was done in 1924, while Hitler was under detention in the fortress of Landsberg am Lech, after unsuccessful Munich uprising the previous year. Under the title of Mein Kampf it was published in the autumn of the year in which it was written, and followed by a second part in 1927.
The entire work, both parts, is offered here to American readers in an English version, somewhat abridged to omit matter not of general or international interest, but including, it is believed, all of the sentiments and ideals of government expressed by Hitler in the final complete German Edition. Politically incorrect and down right offensive, Mein Kampf represents a dark period in History, but nonetheless has been an ongoing fascination for scholars and enthusiasts alike. I offer it here for its historical purpose only and in no way intend to offend anyone.
VERY GOOD CONDITION: A tightly bound copy, mostly clean pages throughout, inscipition on FFEP. A very nice copy for age.















I securely pack all my shipments ensuring they get to you safely Good Luck, and Happy Bidding!
