This is a possibly one-of-a-kind unit history of the United States Air Force 509th Armament & Electronics Maintenance Squadron covering June 16-30, 1952. The unit history has several tipped-in photos with brief captions. The booklet comes with a several newspaper and magazine clippings, some from the period and some from 1944- 1953. There are also two 1965 articles from the "Viking", a Portsmouth, New Hampshire newspaper on the subject of the unveiling of a 509th memorial statue at Pease AFB. The presenter was Brig. Gen Charles W. Sweeney, the pilot of the plane that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. Included are two photographs, most likely from the original owner's service abroad in World War II.
