This book is a collection of bulletins that were issued by the United States Chemical Warfare Service in 1942 - which was during World War II. These Bulletins were distributed to many of the Departments of the United States Military. Many of the bulletins covered the development of chemical weapons during the war, but also the construction and testing of chemical weapons domestically in the United States.
One very interesting (and a bit dark) bulletin (noted in the pics above) is that Walt Disney proposed Mickey Mouse Gas masks for children in the case of a chemical attack. After doing some online research, prototypes were developed for citizens in Britian during the war, but not in America.
The book has numerous pictures, comics, and illustrations in regards to chemical warfare in the mid 20th century.
In 1997, the owner of the book, Richard Baker, reached out to the Walt Disney corporation to see if they would be interested in purchasing the book for their archives, but they declined - asking instead they asked if he could find a gas mask prototype for their archives. The rejection letter with the Disney letterhead is included with this purchase.
