We see alot of letters that were written by those brave Guys and Gals overseas or even Stateside, so i thought it would be kind of interesting to see what type of stationary they might have used ??

It is a offshot of my USAAF collecting , in that it doesnt quite cost as much as any of the uniforms and equipment !

I hope that this is of some interest to you all ? If you have any other blank stationary that is WW2 era please feel free to add to this thread

 

so here goes ,and please enjoy this thread LB

Carl...it's years since I picked up that Army stationary set, I probably paid peanuts for it! I assume this kind of ephemera is still relatively inexpensive?
