These are very, very rare! Especially in this condition. Operation Antwerp X was a top-secret World War II Allied mission commanded by American Brigadier General Clare Hibbs Armstrong to protect the vital port of Antwerp, Belgium, from German V-1 and V-2 missile attacks between October 1944 and April 1945. This paperback book was published by the 50 AAA (Anti-Aircraft Artillery) Brigade US Army in late 1945. Written and compiled under Armstrong's direction, the 48-page illustrated record featured daily V-1 attack charts, brigade organization diagrams, ground defense plans, and color maps\/illustrations by flight sergeants P. C. Haymans and R. A. Johansson. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBecause they were distributed directly to the soldiers of the 50th AAA Brigade rather than sold commercially to the public, few copies survive outside of private collections.
