About This Item

From the d.j. flap: "During WWII, in 1942-1943, the American military worked on a project that would include millions of bats with small incendiary bombs attached to them. The plan was to release the bats into Japan and fires would flare up all over and destroy millions of wood and paper buildings. Even President Roosevelt backed the scheme. It might have worked, except that another secret weapon--something to do with atoms--was chosen to end the war."

20 pages of b/w photos. A Gift Inscription on title page from one brother to the other: "A Whole New Meaning to 'Bats in the Belfry'. Merry Christmas!

About Stillman Books

After closing my most recent bookstore in White Rock, B.C., I have decided to sell strictly online for the foreseeable future. My inventory is heavy on
children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
