This American Edition of Yank Magazine is dated September 8, 1945, volume 3, number 12. The magazine contains lots of photos and articles containing many names of GI's who served in WWII. By and for the men in the service, these books are a wonderful reminder of the dedication and sacrifice that our servicemen and women have made. The book is in good condition however the paper used for these magazines is not the best quality and will need to be handled carefully. The edges are worn and have some tears and nicks. The binding is rough and starting to separate but still together and all pages are complete. Pages have yellowed.
