skypinkblu Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Got back from vacation today and found these beauties waiting for me. The TOTJ was marked a 7.5 from Heritage. I am pretty happy with their grading on that one! It's gorgeous, I was wondering while I was bidding on that one, if you were the one who was going to beat me great books!

TheEyeSees Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Nice books folks!! I haven't been buying much lately, but here's a gem of a book I won in the recent CLINK auction... it has since been cracked out, and the pages are gorgeous. Two big reasons why I love this cover so much: its Everett, and its yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early WWII looked a lot like WWI in many respects. There was incredibly rapid technological improvement once the war really started heating up. This book is cover dated March 1940, which means it was probably created in late 1939 or very early in 1940. Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939 so the cover image is probably more accurate that we would initially think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of WWII, the helmets were the leftovers from WWI basically - those ones with the wide brims and in peace time with countries bleeding money, no reason to replace them. Once the war efforts picked up, new equipment and uniforms came into play. During peace time, I guess it made sense to use what they had. Pretty quickly into the war, the style changed to what we are used to seeing. A lot of 1940 and 1941 books will show those covers. For instance, this cover had to be drawn immediately after Pearl Harbor and displaying the different American soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea.....those soldiers to the left of Captain Marvel look like the same kind of uni's and helmets as the Target book. Very cool stuff I must say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
