Sobre este artículo
New York: Franklin Watts, Inc,, 1963. First Thus. Cloth. Fine/very good. First published by the US GPO in 1961. This is a fine copy, first thus, published by Watts. Aquamarine buckram boards with black title stamping on cover and spine. Binding is square and solid. Red topstain. In a very good, unclipped, dust jacket showing tears and minor loss at top and bottom edges. 506 pp. including index. Octavo. This book is concerned primarily with the combat (or tactical) groups that were active during the Second World War. Although such groups had numerous designations, nearly all fell within four major categories: bombardment, fighter, reconnaissance, and troop carrier. The book covers both the combat groups that served overseas and those that remained in the United States. It also covers combat organizations above the group level. It does not deal with provisional organizations or with air base, maintenance, supply, medical, transport, and other service or support organizations. Although this book is devoted exclusively to organizations that were active during World War II, its coverage of those organizations is not confined to the World War II period. Instead, each organization is traced back to its origin and forward to 1 January 1956, with later activations being mentioned if they took place prior to the time the draft of the book was prepared in 1957-1958. The organizations are presented under the designations they carried on 2 September 1945. For each organization there is information concerning insigne, lineage, operations, assignments, aircraft (for groups only), components, stations, commanders, campaigns, and decorations" - Worldcat
