My dad grew up in the Canal Zone (Panama). During WWII, he sold newpapers to sailors aboard US Naval ships as they transited the canal. Just after the war ended, he would also bum souvenirs from the sailors. The pictures below are some of what he saved. I did some searching, but didn't find other copies, although they must not be too rare since most of the sailors would have gotten them. Regarding the one from the Enterprise, the only mention I found was at the Naval History and Heritage Command where it says:

 

Saga of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Anon. New York: N.p., 1945. 8 leaves, 20 cm. Dornbusch 1950: 883, Smith: 7255. No known copy location.

 

I'm wondering how common these are.
