PARATROOPER RELICS FROM A B-17 ENGINEERA great group of relics gathered by T/Sgt. Ray E. Russell, a B-17 flight engineer who completed 35 missions in the ETOand was awarded a Bronze Star. Immediately after the close of the war, Russell gave a group of items to an Ohio high school student who framed them for display. Offered are: two approx. 4" x 5" candid photos of Russell in flight gear, one with a small section of camo parachute cloth mounted above the image; an approx. 8" x 10" piece of camouglage parachute cloth with paper label identifying it as having been used in the D-Day invasion of France, June 6, 1944; a 5" x 7" piece of white parachute cloth with label "U.S.A. BELGIUM MAY, 1945" from a Belgian member of the 5th Special Air Service; and an early post-war American propaganda leaflet: "The time after the war will be difficult...How difficult depends upon you..." Each items is separately set into a contemporary frame. The 5th SAS was an elite airborne unit consisting entirely of Belgian volunteers. It saw action in Normandy, Northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Initially trained in sabotage and intelligence gathering, they converted to motorised reconnaissance on armoured jeeps.

ALLIED ANTI-ITALIAN PROPAGANDAAn especially rare lot of three pieces of air-dropped leaflets intended for distribution to Italian troops fighting the British and Americans in North Africa, each about 5" x 8" and printed on both sides. One leaflet shows a forelorn Italian soldier siting on a dock in Tripoli as a ship sails away leaving him behind. The text reads, in part: "...The last departing ship for four days - Safe in Italy or lost in the desert? Hurry up!...Rommel and was overwhelmed again by the Allies, and so will from now on. ..evacuate if you do not want to be buried planted soon...". The second flyer asks: "Why die for Hitler?...You need to thank Mussolini and his master Hitler...You, Italian soldier, have no interest in this war...This is the war of Hitler...German will fight to the last man...Italian." The third piece has the theme "1000 km on foot to end up in the Allied trap" and stresses the hopelessness of the Italian efforts. Lat flyer has a clean, small tear. Very good.

AMERICAN AIR-DROPPED LEAFLETSExcellent group of nine anti-Japanese propaganda leaflets, dropped by American aircraft over enemy and occupied territories, includes: two copies of a propaganda leaflet in the form of a Japanese newspaper, each 2pp. 4to., alerting the civilian population of Japan of increased attacks by American bombers on Tokyo and other population centers. It includes an aerial "bomb's eye" view of the Imperial Palace and central Tokyo, as well as reports of American and allied gains in the Pacific, and admonitions for the civilian population to not resist the coming American attacks and possible invasion. One copy of this leaflet is mounted to a paper backing, and both bear folds and minor splitting, else very good. WITH: A 4to. leaflet bearing an image of Harry Truman, in Chinese, announcing the death of President Roosevelt and apparently announcing that American resilience will not be weakened by this loss. It was likely intended to reassure Chinese civilians in Japanese-occupied areas that America would not abandoned them in their fight. Folds, mounted to a paper backing, else very good. WITH: Three double-sided 12mo., leaflets, each featuring the flags of the United States and Nationalist China, boasting of the "complete unity" between the two nations against China's Japanese occupiers. One of these leaflets is mounted to a paper backing with another leaflet, depicting American planes launching raids from their newly-acquired island bases against various Japanese holdings. All bear folds, else very good. WITH: An 8vo. leaflet, in Annamite (Vietnamese) and French, aimed at the civilian population of then-French Indochina, featuring two photographs of French resistance members and jubilant civilians. The text describes the establishment of covert command posts by resistance members participating in the liberation of France from Germany. This is framed with a much smaller leaflet, aimed at the occupying Japanese troops, containing a simple order: "Surrender Alone". These leaflets were saved by an American pilot who occasionally flew missions to drop these leaflets over Japanese-held territory. Present with the grouping is the metal M-16 flare casing in which he preserved the material, ironically lot-dated Dec. 1941, as well as two labels taken from packets of other leaflets intended to be dropped over Indochina, describing their contents as instructions for rescuing downed airmen, and updating the populace as to the gains made against the Japanese. A fine collection.

AMERICAN ANTI-JAPANESE PROPAGANDA LEAFLETSGood group of three air-dropped leaflets, aimed at demoralizing the citizens of mainland Japan at the end of World War II. The first, 5" x 7 1/2", is entitled "Time is Pressing!" It depicts twelve Pacific islands, including Guadalcanal, Attu, the Marshalls, the Admiralty islands, New Guinea, and Tarawa, arranged in the shape of a clock face, with Japan at the twelve o'clock position. All but Japan are marked with broken Japanese flagpoles, signifying defeats on those islands, and the hands of the clock rest on the Philippines at the eleven o'clock position, signifying that Japan's time is nearly up. The second leaflet, 5" x 7", is a simple map of the Pacific Ocean, depicting the distances between the recently captured island of Okinawa and important Japanese bases on Formosa (now Taiwan), China, and mainland Japan, demonstrating the ease with which American forces can attack each of these targets. The final leaflet, 7" x 10", is simply titled "Tokyo Becomes a Battlefield", and depicts a map of Japan superimposed over an aerial photograph of Tokyo, indicative of the view enjoyed by American bomber pilots. The verso bears a message entitled "American Air Force Fiercely Bombs Tokyo", and goes on to describe the frequent bombing raids launched against Tokyo by large groups of planes, with an admonition to surrender. The first two leaflets described are mounted in simple wood frames, and all bear folds, else very good.

AMERICAN PROPAGANDA FOR FILIPINOSRare American propaganda leaflet dropped upon citizens of the Philippines shortly after the invasion by Americans, probably first used at Leyte. The 7" x 5" flyer shows American soldiers running through fields and is captioned: "The Warriors of Freedom have landed on your Island!" The verso advises civilians that Americans have landed nearby, that they should stay clear of military installations and keep off roads and bridges, and "help us drive the Japs from your island!". Folds, soiled.

CHINESE ARE WARNED AWAY FROM JAPANESE AIRFIELDSRare American propaganda leaflet, 5" x 7" with translation, apparently a sample or test print. It reads on the recto: "Warning to Shanghai Airfield Workers!" and on verso the text warns works that bombers of the 14th Air Force might arrive at any time to "blast Tachang, Kiangwan and Woosung airfields...Move away quickly...The bombers are coming!". Very good.

JAPANESE PROPAGANDARare piece of Japanese propaganda, an air-dropped two-sided leaflet, 5" x 10" overall. One side depicts two well-dressed couples sipping cocktails before a radio which blares: "ANOTHER MAJOR VICTORY". The Japanese reality is exposed when this image is lifted to reveal a smirking Japanese soldier facing the viewer with tanks and fighter planes attackin from behind him. Very good.
