Reprint (originally published 1945) SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. [2], 108 pages. Paperback booklet: H 17.25cm x L 12.75cm. Black paper covers; white lettering to front cover (the original edition had light blue lettering); white bordered b/w photo decorates rear cover; minor scuffing at spine ends; faint staining to front cover. Past owner's ink inscription at bottom of front free endpaper with his "May 2002" notation at top left corner; at center of ffep is author's three-line ink inscription "Bert Bank | God Bless | America." Interior pages are otherwise clean. Rear cover recto has circa 1970s b/w portrait photo of Bert Bank and wife Gertrude Bank; title page verso has Regions Bank advertisement which, via mergers and acquisitions, was not a corporate name until 1994 (thereby establishing the earliest year possible for this reprint). While the booklet's paper quality is improved over earlier issues, the type is grainer implying photocopy reproduction. Binding is firm and, as a further note, this copy has a glued "perfect" binding whereas earlier issues were staple-bound. An autobiographical account by United States Army Air Force Major Bertram "Bert" Bank in which he recounts his harrowing WWII experiences during the Bataan Death March and internment in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Bank later served in the Alabama House of Representatives and Alabama Senate and was founder of the Alabama Football Radio Network. Includes a Foreword (pages 7-8) by The Tuscaloosa News Editor Norman H. Bassett. Also present are three newspaper clippings regarding Bert Banks' passing: {#1} June 24, 2009 Tuscaloosa News Page 1A (i.e. front page) appreciation by Wayne Grayson; {#2} June 24, 2009 column by Tuscaloosa News sports editor Cecil Hurt; and {#3} undated and non-bylined appreciation presumably also from Tuscaloosa News.
