Comments: The pictorial history of Australia at War 1939 to 1945 is the supplement to 22 volume of the Official History.

The official history of Australia’s involvement in the Second World War represents one of the longest and largest historical endeavours that Australia has ever seen. The enterprise began in January 1943 with the appointment of Gavin Long as General Editor. The 22 volumes, written by 14 authors, were published by the Memorial over a 25-year period between 1952 and 1977.

Volume I – 1st edition (1958) – 256 pages

Volume II – 1st edition (1957) – 255 pages

Volume III – 1st edition (1958) – 256 pages

Vol 1 appears to have had some moisture issue at the spine. Overall a very reasonable set, with very little insect damage to covers.
