hzamar Posted August 1, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2009 I just bought this great 1942 magazine that was printed to benefit the Army Emergency Relief fund. It is loaded with early photos of all things Army. Some of the photos show outdated equipment already by 1942 standards but it is probably all they had available or they didn't want to give away too much information. There are a surprising number of color photos in the magazine. It's about the size of a Life magazine of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamski Posted August 1, 2009 Share #9 Posted August 1, 2009 The Victory Task Force was the unit responsible for putting on those shows. I believe the Attack magazine was the official program for the tour. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the magazine, two ticket stubs and one patch from a :thumbsup: person who was at a show in the Buffalo (?) area back in the day. A Trooper took the patch off and gave to the kids in the family. Would have loved to be able to see one of those shows!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
