Octavo, single issue, self wrappers, stapled. The third of the four issues of this fanzine, all of which are uncommon. The whole issue is devoted to Edward Wood's "1951 Magazine Index." THE JOURNAL OF SCIENCE FICTION "ranks as one of the most mature and important fanzines of the 1950s . Highlights of the magazine were lengthy articles by authors such as Robert Bloch and Hugo Gernsback, plus Edward Wood's surveys of the SF published in magazines for 1951 and 1952.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Henry Richard van Dongen (cover); Jack Gaughan, Cindy (Smith), Roy Hunt, Marvin Bryer, Dan Adkins Ilustrador. First Edition. New York: Ronald L. Smith, 1956. First edition. September, 1956, whole number 50, issue number 16 under the name "Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser" (which is the last name for the famed sci-fi / fantasy fanzine, which was also published under the earlier names "Fantasy Advertiser" and "Science Fiction Advertiser", though the primary focus was always Science Fiction.) Ron Smith became the Editor/Publisher with the November, 1954 issue, which was also the first under this name. Octavo, stapled illustrated wraps, a whopping 72 pp. - thick, for this fanzine. Near Fine. Small chip top right front and another middle left back (see scans), and that's about it. Not much toning to the contents at all; bright, tight and nearly flawless. This September of 1956 issue is certainly one of the best produced in the entire sequence; Ron Smith was really feeling his oats at this time. Featured are "Weird Tales in Retrospect" by August Derleth, and part 3 of Lin Carter's astonishingly intensive research into the of actual books mentioned by H.P. Lovecraft in his stories. Bless him for the energy he spent. A plethora of great illustrations grace this issue, perhaps more than any other issue (of this or any sci-fi genre fanzine of the era, one would guess): H.R. Van Dongen's cover is joined by a bunch of Jack Gaughan illustrations, plus some by each of Dan Adkins, Cindy (Smith), and Marvin Bryer, plus cartoon illustrations by "Miller" and Dave Jenrette - all managed by Art Director Cindy Smith. Other articles include "Randall Garrett's Memo to E.A. Robinson", Larry T. Shaw's "The Baker Murder Case", Lin Carter's poem "The Return of the Fairies", Edmond Hamilton's "Time Traveling in Ohio", a Jonathan Hoag poem reprint, courtesy of George Wetzel, "To the Grand Canyon of the Ohio", William F. Nolan's "Dark Souls in Jeopardy" (a short modernistic three-act play), Garth Bentley's "Complaint of the EM", and illustrated humor by Dave Jenrette, "People to Avoid at a Convention", as a tri-fold foldout. Also, of course, the original meat of the fanzine, the book reviews, here handled mostly by Carter, Robert Silverberg, and Charles Freudenthal. Even some of the seemingly-now-out-of-date book ad from sellers. Pretty much the peak of fanzine-ism. Collector gold, and scarce as hen's teeth. Please review scans. l-pr1.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. vii, 313, [2] pages. Illustrations. No dust jacket present. The cover has some wear, soiling and rubbed edges. This is the story of a war-time organization. It had no long tradition behind it, and its life was brief; about two years. The story deserves to be told. Here then, from the photos, diaries, and personal recollections o many; and from the records in the United States Air Force Historical & Research Center, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the USAF Office of History, is the substantive story of the 489th Bomb Group and those who were in it. As the 489th's Group Bombardier, Charlie said he didn't belong to any particular crew in the group. Instead he flew missions with different crews, " bombardier and sometimes navigator". Charlie wrote the book 'A History of the 489th' and was Editor of the 489th BG Newsletter for more than 20 years. Over many years he returned to Halesworth and Norwich for both the Second Air Division and the 489th BG Reunions. During World War II, the 489th Bombardment Group was a Consolidated B-24 Liberator unit. After training in the United States, it moved to England as an element of Eighth Air Force, stationed at RAF Halesworth, England. Lieutenant Colonel Leon Vance of the group was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery and actions on the day before D-Day over Wimereux, France. It was the only Medal of Honor awarded to a B-24 crewman for a mission flown from England. The group returned to the U. S. in November 1944 and converted to a B-29 Superfortress group, but the war ended before the group could deploy to the Pacific. The 489th Bombardment Group, Heavy was activated as a B-24 Liberator heavy bomber group on 1 October 1943 at Wendover Field, Utah. Its original squadrons were the 844th, 845th, 846th and 847th Bombardment Squadrons. The group completed combat training and departed Wendover on 3 April 1944. The air echelon flew to the UK via the southern ferry route along the northern coastline of South America and across the Atlantic to Africa before heading North to England. The ground echelon sailed from Boston on board the USS Wakefield on 13 April 1944, reaching Liverpool on 21 April. The group moved to RAF Halesworth, England in May 1944, where it became part of Eighth Air Force. The group entered combat on 30 May 1944 with an attack on Oldenburg, Germany. It then concentrated on targets striking in France to prepare for Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy. In an attack against coastal defenses near Wimereux, France on 5 June, the group's lead plane was seriously crippled by enemy fire, its pilot was killed, and the deputy group commander, Lt. Col. Leon Vance, who was commanding the formation, was severely wounded. Although his right foot was practically severed, Vance took control of the plane and led the group to a successful bombing of the target. He flew the damaged Liberator near the English coastline where he ordered the crew to bail out. Under the belief that one wounded crewmember could not jump, Vance ditched the plane in the English Channel and was rescued. For his action during this mission, Vance was awarded the Medal of Honor. The group supported the landings in Normandy the following day, and afterward bombed coastal defenses, airfields, bridges, railroads, and V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket launch sites (Operation Crossbow) in the campaign for France. It participated in the saturation bombing of German lines just before Operation Cobra, the breakthrough at Saint-Lô in July. The group dropped food to liberated French and to Allied forces in France during August and September, and carried food and ammunition to the Netherlands later in September. For these missions, a loadmaster from IX Troop Carrier Command directed the drops from the bombers. On other missions, group aircraft flew into Orleans/Bricy Airfield to deliver supplies. The 489th began flying strategic bombing missions to Germany in July, and engaged primarily in bombing strategic.
