Lot 927
Day of Infamy - With 13 American and Japanese Signatures. Special printing of Walter Lord's classic history of the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, signed by Walter Lord, the author, and eleven other individuals involved in the attack or other aspects of the Pacific war. They include Kenneth Taylor, the first U.S. pilot to see action in WW II when he shot down Japanese aircraft at Pearl Harbor; Joseph Taussig, Jr. who served on the USS Nevada and was wounded during the attack; Saburo Sakai, considered to be the top WWII Ace among surviving Japanese pilots (as of 1991); and Zenji Abe, who flew a "Val" dive bomber in the Pearl Harbor attack. This extremely rare edition was published one time only, in May 1991, in conjunction with a two-day symposium, held in Austin, Texas, on the events before and during the attack. Only a few copies are signed in this manner. A program from the symposium is included.
Estimated Value $250 - 300.
