Not only is the strong military cover art a great addition to the WWII collection, but this issue of Collier's is also a great find for Ernest Hemingway fans, as Hemingway had returned to journalism for the duration of the war. His piece here is entitled "War in the Siegfried Line" and was dubbed "a grim story of how our infantry broke onto German soil."

To set the stage a bit, and because I am a fan of all Lost Generation authors, I did a little research to refresh my memory. At this point Hemingway was married to his third wife, Martha Gelhorn, who had been covering stories for Collier's herself and had persuaded him to come on board. But no sooner did he arrived in Europe from his home in Cuba when became fixated on Mary Welsh who would eventually become his final wife. His biographer, Carlos Baker, author of "Ernest Hemingway, A Life", also points out that by this time in his writing career the feel of and event took precedence over the facts of it, as did a tendency to insinuate that he himself played a bigger role in the event than may have been strictly true!

This issue also includes a story about bats by evironmentalist Rachel Carson, who decades later gained fame with her classic book "Silent Spring."

Magazine is clean and tightly bound with just one repaired fault -- a longish tear to top back edge near spine which has been secured with almost invisible non-browning archival tape. There's also a small address label to bottom front which does not touch the beautiful cover art by Elmore Brown.
