The picture shows the cover and some sample pages of this ©1942 Gum, Inc. "America's Navy" Book. The images are great and we wish we could show all of the pages. This (72) page book has (67) pages of United States Navy images. Below each is some information. The art images are from old World War II era bubble gum trading cards. The book is like a set of cards. The card sets that the images are from are believed to be Uncle Sam, Home Defense, and War Gum, and maybe even Horrors of War. There are both color and black & white images. The title page reads as follows: AMERICA'S NAVY Edited By Shepherd Knapp Cover Illustration By Herbert Rudeen Research and Inside Illustrtions By George Moll Rand McNally & Company - Chicago Copyright MCMXLII By Gum, Inc.
