Every page has been enhanced and is readable. Rare books like this sell for a hundred dollars or more when buying the actual hard copy if you can find one for sale.
If you ever spent time on Treasure Island in the 40s, 50s, 60,s 70's or 80s, this will bring back some memories. Although the book is all about the facility during WWII many of the buildings will be remembered as they did not change much.
We have also included many personal photos that were taken on the Island recently. It is not longer an operating base but many of the building still stand. You will not be disappointed we guarantee it.
