Co., B, 942nd Engineer Avn, (Topo.) Bn. Printed letter inside Volume I from General Patton and foreword by Major General Hobart R. Gay, reads, '...The presentation of this report by phases of operations rather than by calendar month... was finally rejected in favor of a factually correct record of events as they occurred. A set of maps covering Third U.S. Army's Zone of Operations accompanies the report. Comparative statistics on casualties and losses of materiel, both enemy and third United States Army, are presented graphically in the charts...' Volume I contains approx. 700 pp. and Volume II has approx. 1000 pp. 13 x 18 inches. Limited edition, one of 182 copies made.
