Mass market paperback. Condition: Very good. Calvin Chapman of the U.S. Army Signal Corps (took (illustrator). xii, [4], 347, [5] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Appendices (includes The Bailey Bridge). Bibliography. Index. Colonel David E. Pergrin (26 July 1917 - 7 April 2012) was commanding officer of the 291st Engineer Combat Battalion of the United States Army during World War II. Before the war he earned an engineering degree at Pennsylvania State University, graduating in 1940. While at Penn State he participated in the ROTC program. Pergrin was called to active duty in April 1941, with the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. After helping train numerous engineering platoons and companies, he was transferred to the new 291st Engineer Combat Battalion in April, 1943 to assist in its training. In August, he was given command of the battalion when it completed its states-side training. During training in the United States and Britain, then Major, later Lt. Colonel, Pergrin emphasized individual leadership which he credited as the main reason for the unit's success in completing its missions, especially while under enemy fire. In what quickly came to be called the Battle of the Bulge, the 291st Engineer Combat Battalion found itself directly in the path of the German spearhead. With heart-stopping suspense, Colonel David Pergrin describes one of the European theater's critical delaying actions as his unit destroyed bridges, planted mines, and defended roadblocks in the face of oncoming tank columns. Here, in gritty detail, is the story of how "those damned Engineers" ruined Hitler's winter offensive, and how the 291st, with a reputation almost as big as its accomplishments, went on to build a 1100-foot pontoon bridge across the Rhine at Remagen in 32 hours--in the face of fierce opposition and near-impossible odds. Pergrin follows the battalion from its formation and training through the campaigns in France, Belgium, and Germany, making us witness the genuine heroics, skill, and spirit that lifted the 291st to the realm of legend. First Ballantine Books Edition, presumed first printing.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. THE PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING RADIO COMMUNICATION SIGNAL CORPS U.S. ARMY 1919. Herewith another of the many vintage books about early radio technology which I have been listing of late, this one titled: The Principles Underlying Radio Communications, Radio Pamphlet No. 40, December 10, 1918, by the Signal Corps, U.S. Army. This small soft cover book (5 x 7 ¼ inches, 355 pages) was published by the Government Printing Office, Washington, dated 1919 (probably meaning that this is the First Edition, given the date of the pamphlet mentioned above). The book is bound in brown simulated (or is it real) leather soft covers with once gilt titles and emblem of the Signal Corps on the cover and spine. Like most of these books about radio technology, it is well illustrated with 268 Figures including photos, diagrams and schemata. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The soft covers are darkened and worn, with some rubbing of the finish along the gutter. Its corners and spine tips are bumped and small bits of the finish worn off in some places. The gilt titles and decorations are tarnished to the point of being illegible but perhaps this can be cleaned up. Inside, there are some penciled notations on the front endpaper and an inked name of a company on the title page. The interior pages, printed on glossy stock, seem to have resisted blemishes as there is no toning or foxing and very few spots of soiling. Both hinges are intact and the binding, although canted to the right, is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
