Canada: 97X Squadron Royal Air Force, 1944. First edition. Paperback. Fair. Woolley, P.W.. Blue stapled pamphlet, 35 pages, a souvenir from the 97th air navigation training on Prince Edward Island. The condition is a bit rough with corners bent and curling, some pencil marks to the front cover and a note one page indicating the previous owner's relation to one of the airmen. Soil and a pencilled notation to the tan rear cover. This book seems to have been written and produced by the members of Squadron 97X during the time of their stay on PEI for training. Flight Lieutenant E.F. Dobie and Flying Officer W.J. Birrell are listed as "Men Responsible" so they may have taken and editing hand to this pamphlet. Full page bio and pictures of 21 airmen along with a cartoon, soccer match photo and description of a concert. Represented squadron members are Dobie, Birrell, Adams, Allan, Chapman, Donelly, Finnis, Gowers, Habgood, Higgins, Lee, Lovell, McCracken, Owen, Paris, Reinstadtler, Richardson, Smart, Spencer, Stevenson, Turner, Williams and Woolley. This is an odd and unique piece of World War II squad history from the Royal Air Force.

Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two?
