I just picked this up at ORA today

I was just at ORA today and came across this book in the gift shop: "America's First Air War, The United States Army, Naval and Marine Air Services in the First World War" by Terry C. Treadwell. The inside of the book sticker price is $39.95, but ORA sells it for $20. I'd say that's a pretty good deal. It has over 200 photos, many of which I haven't seen before. There are some helpful lists including all of the U.S. squadrons, and Air Stations, members of the Lafayette Escadrille, POW escape reports, etc. I am looking forward to reading this thoroughly this week.

Oh sure, go ahead and steal my thunder. I'll look at the difference as a contribution to my favorite place on Earth.

In my bibliography project I listed it's estimated value at $15 -$25. I'll have to amend it ha ha. Terry Treadwell
Any other price stories would be appreciated; I'd love to eventually have a real working directory of a WW1 aero pricing guide.

I beat all of you. I just found it for free. Click the link:
America's First Air War: The United ... - Google Book Search
If you really need a hard copy, I just checked Amazon, and it's available for $9 used.
