Documents President Eisenhower's May-July 1960 travel in Asia utilizing Marine One helicopter squadron. Approximately half of the 31 photos show President Eisenhower, family members, aides, military personnel, etc. during the tour with the remaining held documenting friendly and unfriendly crowds at landing or departure as well as vistas taken from the aircraft. Acquired from a family descendant of a Marine One helicopter pilot serving both Eisenhower and Kennedy. Evidently a scarce if not rare publication as OCLC does not locate any copies among member institutions although a Google search does find a copy cited among the papers of Eisenhower speechwriter and historian William B. Ewald Jr. held at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas. The inclusion of photographic prints hints at a very small print run likely limited to members of the special squadron and probably some White House staff. Lending further credence for a limited print run is that, despite the publication not having a security designation, the dynamics of presidential flight scheduling and organization were then (as are now) quite sensitive.
