« on: September 05, 2010, 09:24:56 PM »
All I can find is info on a "Contrails II"...



Plus...  I have a much better copy of this...

My copy is almost two years older and is in much better shape.  These things aren't for sale it is just interesting to know that they are sought after...

That looks like the squadron's yearbook. I have a couple from my wife's grandfather, he was a marine aviator.  I think their's was called "Jetstream."

He's a lover, not a fighter... but he's also a fighter, so don't get any ideas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRaTekm9Ak8  http://one_foggy.tripod.com/sounds/afu_jokeson.wav

Appears to be a wartime published 95th Bomb Group history.  Worth a fair amount to the guys interested in that kind of stuff.  I have the 447th BG wartime history and it looks similar.  Most units had them published in 45 or so for the returning vets and families.

checked abebooks.com 

Two for sale, lowest price $175.  Published 1945
