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."

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.

Two for sale, lowest price $175.  Published 1945
