Bound volume containing U. S. Govt. Publications on Camouflage, all seeming have been produced in 1942. We could not decipher most of the cover lettering. "... Appendix A Defense Plant Corporation ... Manufacturing Plant ... North Carolina" is as much as we could get)
- Hardcover
Hardcover. Very Good. Size of individual items varies but most are about 28 cm. All are in a flexible hard cover binding (30 cm.) with two screw and post holes running through each item along left side. It seems clear this volume full of 1942 Camouflage items was assembled as an appendix to some contract, report or other document involving the Defense Plant Corporation (a subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, operated by the U. S. Government, 1940-1945) and a North Carolina plant. A former owner's name (Herbert L. Coggins, 936th Eng. Cam. Bn. Avn.) is stamped on some individual items.
