A fine example of a WAR pamphlet No.32 The Airborne Forces, published and issued by the Army Bureau of Current Affairs written by Captain Anthony Cotterell

This is a good example of a WAR pamphlet No.32 called The Airborne Forces, published and issued by the Army Bureau of Current Affairs on November 28th 1942. ‘WAR’ was a series of ‘restricted’ pamphlets issued fortnightly by the British Army Bureau of Current Affairs from September 1941 until just after the end of WW2 which provided information to officers of the army about progress of the war and the activities of branches of the armed forces in all theatres, with the intention that they should pass it on to the fighting troops. Authorship is often anonymous and/or by staff writers but there are a few attributions to some notable contributors, including Eric Linklater, Anthony Cotterell and Orde Wingate. This number covers the early days of British Airborne Forces and one of there first operations, Operations Biting aka the Bruneval Raid. This number is in a nice issued condition. A nice little wartime Airborne related item.
