Plenty of both color and black and white photos herein. See summary of illustrations on cover scan. About Near Fine. Light dust at top page edges and...that's about it. See all scans. Otherwise, no notable flaws. A high grade example, and as such hard to replace. See all scans. In sealed protection, on premises, ready to ship. Inside are pieces on Iran in Wartime; Aleutians Paintings; Giant Caribbean Turtles; Yanks in Ireland; Normandy and Brittany; French Provinces; Fit to Fight Anywhere . Classic WWII Coca-Cola ad on the back cover. And, as noted, plenty of other vintage ads inside - those being, somehow, always among my favorites offerings from NG. Scarcer issue than many others of the era, particularly in this condition. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course. LNG6
