Cliff Bishop is a Structures Design Engineer and the proprietor of East Anglia Books which specialized in U.S.A.F. and World War Two history. He served in the Royal Air Force in the 1950's. He had been personally involved in the dismantling and rebuilding of B-17 aircraft one for the Imperial War Museum. He researched the information for this work over a ten year period. His brother Stanley specialized in air crash investigating and research on missing aircrews. VIII Bomber Command of the United States Army Air Forces was established early in 1942. The first combat operations began in July with first heavy bomber operations in August. Its bomber units were deployed in the UK chiefly around East Anglia. From June 1943 it was the daylight bombing part of the Combined Bomber Offensive against Germany. It was redesignated as Eighth Air Force on 22 February 1944. The Eighth Army Air Force 8 AAF was a United States Army Air Forces combat air force in the European theater of World War II 1939/41–1945 engaging in operations primarily in the Northern Europe area of responsibility; carrying out strategic bombing of enemy targets in France the Low Countries and Germany; and engaging in air-to-air fighter combat against enemy aircraft until the German capitulation in May 1945. The 1st Bombardment Wing was initially formed in France in 1918 during World War I as a command and control organization for the Pursuit Groups of the First Army Air Service. It was re-established in the United States as the first wing formed in the reorganized United States Army Air Service created in August 1919 to control three groups patrolling the border with Mexico after revolution broke out there. As the 1st Wing the unit was one of the original wings of the GHQ Air Force on 1 March 1935. During World War II it was one of the primary B-17 Flying Fortress heavy strategic bombardment wings of VIII Bomber Command and later Eighth Air Force. It was inactivated on 7 November 1945. After the Pearl Harbor Attack initially supervised Heavy Bomber Operational Training at Tucson AAF. Re-designated as 1st Bombardment Wing and reassigned to VIII Bomber Command and deployed to England July–August 1942. In England mission was command and control of B-17 Flying Fortress bombardment groups stationed in East Anglia receiving operational orders from VIII BC headquarters and mobilizing subordinate groups for strategic bombardment attacks on enemy targets in Occupied Europe. Operated primarily from RAF Bassingbourn Cambridgeshire. Served in combat in the European Theater of Operations ETO from August 1942 until 25 April 1945 receiving a Distinguished Unit Citation DUC for an attack on aircraft factories in Germany on 11 January 1944. Returned to the United States in August 1945. Almost all the bomber and fighter groups and squadrons in Cambridgeshire were commanded by the First Bomber Wing in Brampton renamed the First Bomber Division and finally renamed in 1944 the First Air Division. By the war’s end the 8th Air Force was spread over 112 airfields across East Anglia flying B-17 and B-24 heavy bombers B-26 Marauder medium bombers P-38 Lightning P-47 Thunderbolt and P-51 Mustang fighters as well as Spitfires and Mosquito bombers provided by the RAF. Throughout the war the 8th Air Force dropped 700000 tons of bombs on Germany and occupied Europe flew 600000 bomber and fighter sorties and destroyed over 15000 enemy aircraft by air-to-air engagements ground strafing or by bomber crew engagement. 35000 men and women would serve with the 8th Air Force during the war with many thousands never returning home. Much of that enormous effort was planned and executed from the Grange in Brampton. East Anglia Books hardcover
1930réf. 225141930. New York Stock Exchange photo archive three press images dated 1893 to the early 1930s documenting major moments of financial crisis and market activity in the United States. The material captures both interior trading floor operations and exterior public response during periods of extreme volatility including the Panic of 1893 and the economic downturn following the 1929 stock market crash. These images provide direct visual evidence of how financial markets functioned in practice showing brokers traders and public crowds reacting to rapid shifts in economic conditions and offering insight into the social and institutional centrality of the New York Stock Exchange during periods of national instability. Three original photographs and printed image including a halftone engraving dated May 18 1893 alongside two press photographs bearing stamps from 1930 and 1932 each measuring approximately 7 x 9 inches to 8 x 10 inches. The 1893 image originally published in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper depicts the interior of the Exchange during the Panic of 1893 with brokers in formal attire densely clustered beneath ticker boards and gas lighting engaged in open outcry trading. A later double-image press photograph presents elevated views over the trading floor showing large groups of traders gathered around circular posts holding telephones and exchange slips illustrating the mechanics of pre-digital trading systems. The final photograph an Acme press image with original caption on verso shows a dense crowd gathered outside the Exchange on Broad Street during the early years of the Great Depression with men in suits and hats pressed together as they observe market activity and posted updates. Verso annotations editorial crop marks and press stamps indicate these images were used in contemporary newspaper reporting on stock market conditions. Spanning four decades of financial history these images document the continuity and transformation of market behavior from the late nineteenth century through the Great Depression. The Panic of 1893 marked by railroad failures and widespread bankruptcies and the crash of 1929 which contributed to prolonged economic collapse both intensified trading activity and public engagement with the Exchange. The photographs illustrate the persistence of open outcry systems reliance on manual communication and the physical concentration of traders and observers in moments of crisis. This archive supports research into financial history media representation of economic events and the lived experience of market speculation during periods of instability. Light handling wear minor edge creasing and some editorial markings; overall very good condition. A concise visual record of market activity and public response across two major economic crises. unknown books
