Rare World War II Book The Saga of the Biscuit Bomber 57th Troop Carrier Squadron Southwest Pacific Theater. Filled with photos and history of unique part played during World War II. Book is far from perfect - boards have wear and the end papers have some writing; it is missing a single page numbers 13 & 14 and a couple other pages are loose.

In fine condition the book most often sells for several hundred dollars.The Saga of the Biscuit Bomber book was written by members of the 57th Troop Carrier Squadron. Published by Halstead Press of Sydney Australia in 1945. The Squadron operated in the Southwest Pacific Theater delivering supplies and men in a successful attempt to keep the Japanese out of strategic New Guinea. Their efforts were often augmented by Australian troops. Book is packed with photographs of the brave men and their exploits. There are also numerous photos of USO tours, indigenous populations and Australia. Text details the action and describes the photos.

Several pages at rear are devoted to a Roster of the Personnel
