SoldBook, "Bill Bruce on Border Patrol" by Major Henry H. Arnold, 1928
One of 6 junenile books in the aviator series written by General Hap Arnold when he was a major in the US Air Corps while attending the Army Command and General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth, KS. This was during a period of exile for Arnold following the Court Martial of Gen. Billy Mitchell, whom he was a follower. Arnold managed to survive that exile and become a 5 star general and the US Air Force's only 5 star general. Although it might seem an odd for someone like Arnold to write junenile books, it was the perfect way to spark interest in aviation in an audience that would become your future pilots. You can only wonder how many of the young men who read this book went on to fly in WW2. Very good original condition and a very hard book to find. $75.00WW1 78 RPM Record Recording of General Pershing
