Item description from seller

Pawling 1949, Guideposts. Folded, [4] page pamphlet, 4.75 x 7.25 inches, titles printed in red, balance in black ink, 3 b.w. photos, one of a B-17 bomber taking off the U.S. HORNET launching Japan-bound bombers, very good, faint damp stain. This is a very rare piece of ephemera, printed for the Total World Missionary Program, with a brief essay by De Shazer. "Its hard to describe the feeling I had last December as I stood on shipboard heading for Japan-the same destination as 6 years before. This mission-brotherhood; a far different objective than the one I had back in 1942." De Shazer was a bombardier & went on the most dangerous mission with Gener- al Jimmy Doolittle to do the first U.S. bombing raid on the Japanese mainland. Later De Shazer became a missionary in Japan, after being held prisoner for some years by the Jap- anese. The other two photos show a photo of Sgt. De Shazer & Capt. Robert L. Hite, "Planning the Mission," as they look a a globe world map, while Hite points to a place in China where the Doolittle Raiders were supposed to reach upon suc- cessful bombing of Tokyo. The third photo shows De Shazer & his wife & son departing for Japan. When De Shazer arrived in Japan, at a theatre in Osaka, some 2000 people gathered to see him, including his former guard, Capt. Kato and other Japanese prison guards who had treated him so cruelly.…
