Rare Work on RAF Paratroopers, 1943/4

Corps Parachutiste. No date, and no place of publication other than "Imprime en Angleterre" (stamped on the back cover). 7x5 inches, 16pp, illustrated with photos. Very nice condition. In printed wrappers. $95

From the "Pamphlet Collection" of the Library of Congress, which stamped the pamphlet 17 April 1944. I do not know exactly when this was printed, except to say that it was 1940-1944. My guess is that it was printed in England for distribution to the French

There are no copies whatsoever located in WorldCat/OCLC.

The full work, as follows (a small gift to others with a soft spot for Airborne):
