Rare and Unusual Work on RAF Paratroopers, 1943/4

JF Ptak Science Books   Quick Post

This pamphlet turned up in my Library of Congress “Pamphlets Collection” collection-it had the feel of something that was widely distributed as a home front piece of positive news, but it turns out that it does not show up cataloged in the usual places (like WorldCat/OCLC).  There is no printed date and no place of publication other than “Imprime en Angleterre” (stamped on the back cover). There is a LC cataloging stamp of 17 April 1944, which means it may have been first issued in late 1943.

There are no copies whatsoever located in WorldCat/OCLC. 

I’ve reprinted the full work (below) for those with an interest in Airborne:
