Hello, while going through my father’s belongings I found this book from 1918. My father served in the Navy but he wasn’t yet born so I am assuming it must have belonged to his mother. I almost threw it away but the binding caught me eye so I read it. I was told this is a great piece of history and I should share it. This site was recommended to me to do just that.

Speaking of Brooks Field here is one of the experimental parachute drops, I think the one in 1928 when three soldiers jumped with Machine Guns.

This is a wonderful book that was printed locally by a San Antonio publisher who made some other similar publications such as the one for Camp John Wise.  I think most of these were thrown away.  It is circa 1919.  A fine item that I'd be pleased to try to talk you out of.  Thanks.  Ben
