Description: 204 page softbound unit history "The 32nd Troop Carrier Squadron: An Airborne C-47 Squadron 1942-1945" by Captain Donald L. Van Reken. A very limited production unit history published and distributed by the author in 1989. The 32nd served in the 314th Troop Carrier Group in North Africa, Sicily, England, France, and Germany and participated in every major Airborne operation in the ETO. C-47's from this squadron dropped paratroopers and also towed gliders. Capt. Van Reken was the editor of the squadron association newsletter, and compiled the information for this history through reunion interviews and correspondence with his fellow squadron mates. Well-illustrated and a great read! The author joined the squadron in time to fly paratroopers into Normandy for D-Day. We purchased his uniform group, and also acquired several boxes of these very scarce unit histories. Scarce WWII Airborne history. Note: These were wrapped in plastic when they were printed in 1989. The plastic may be difficult to totally remove from the covers. PLEASE READ OUR TERMS BEFORE BIDDING: Missouri residents must add 4.75% sales tax. We are glad to combine multiple purchases for savings on shipping. If you purchase more than one item from us, please wait to pay until we send you an eBay invoice with the correct shipping amount. We print the USPS postage through the eBay system, so your package will be shipped to you exactly as it appears in your eBay account. We will not ship to alternate addresses. We have learned this the hard way, with a few bad apples asking to have items sent to a different address, claiming that they have moved, etc. then using PayPal and eBay to end up with both the item and the money. If you really have moved recently, then you need to update your eBay and PayPal accounts. Payment: We ask successful bidders to remit payment within 10 days of auction end. International Buyers – please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges aren't included in the item price or postage cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs forms are automatically filled out by ebay, and the value of an item cannot be changed in order to avoid customs fees.Questions: We are glad to answer any questions you might have to the best of our ability, except for "What Size is it?" on historical uniforms. (We sell uniforms as collectibles, not costumes.) Otherwise, for all other questions ask away! We will answer as soon as possible.
