Original August 1943 issue of Flying Aces magazine featuring one of the most striking patriotic WWII covers of the war years.

An outstanding display piece for aviation or WWII collectors. Inside you’ll find: * Original WWII aviation stories and combat photography * Aircraft features including the P-51 Mustang, P-40 Warhawk, P-38 Lightning, Bell Airacobra, F4F Wildcat, Hurricane, Hudson, Me-109, and Ju-87 Stuka * Large vintage Cleveland Models advertisements * Full-size airplane model plans * WWII cartoons and illustrations * Numerous period aviation photographs throughout An especially interesting feature is the handwritten notation on the cover reading “117th P.X. July ’43,” suggesting the magazine may have been purchased through a military Post Exchange during the war, adding to its period character.
