PW-660 Rare WWII U.S. War
Dept. Malaria Book Illustrated by Theodor Geisel (Dr.
Suess)
this vintage World War II instructional
booklet for soldiers on how to keep from getting malaria.
Put out by the War Department in 1943 and published in
1944, the 30 page booklet was the product of Theodor Seuss
Geisel - better known to most of us as Dr. Suess. Geisel
worked drawing posters for the Treasury Dept. and the War
Production board. In 1943, he joined the Army as a Captain
and was commander of the Animation Department of the First
Motion Picture Unit of the United States Army Air Forces.
There he wrote films, including training films, and
booklets such as this one. Although the drawings and
writings in this booklet, don't have his name on them, one
look tells you it is early, classic Dr. Suess. The
booklet's covers have some age discoloration and some
writing and paper residue on the back. It must have been
in a scrapbook. There is rust around the staple area and a
small tear at the bottom of the spine. The spine area is
where the little booklet shows the most wear. The inside
pages are in good condition. The booklet measures
approximately 4 1/4" x 5 1/4". These have sold for up to
$500 on ebay. Price reflects condition of the rear cover.

The battle for the island of
Okinawa by
United States Marine
and
Army forces against
the
Imperial Japanese Army.[21]
The initial invasion of Okinawa on April 1, 1945, was the
largest
amphibious assault in
the
Pacific Theater of
World War II.
The 98-day battle lasted from March 26th until July 2nd,
1945. After a long campaign of
island hopping, the
Allies were planning to use
Kadena Air Base on the
large island of Okinawa as a base for
Operation Downfall,
the planned invasion of the
Japanese home islands,
340 mi (550 km) away. The battle was one of the bloodiest in
the Pacific, with approximately 160,000 casualties on both
sides: at least 75,000 Allied and 84,127,000 Japanese. |
PW-580 Fantastic and RARE set of maps for
the invasion of Okinawa. These maps were carried in during
the invasion and clearly show the beach head targets. All 4
maps are present, 1 in particular shows having been carried
during the invasion. The reverse fits together to show a
photo mosaic of the invasion area. Extremely rare! $895 |

gruesome reality of the German Death Camps. Only one like
this we have seen. Approx. 10 x 13. $225 |
