A previous thread about WWII letters got me motivated to share this one.

 

This in an incredible letter from General Doolittle he wrote in July 1943 when he was the commander of the North African Strategic Air Forces . He wrote the letter to a friend of his that worked with him in the aviation department of Shell Oil in the 1930's . Doolittle's signature is not rare, but a hand written letter with good content from him during WWII is!

That is very cool & quite nice! I just love the way he addressed the letter and it was delivered. Today you would need three suite numbers, a floor level, "Care Of/Attention", a 72 digit zip code and 3 bucks to HOPE it gets there.
