Published in 1959 at the height of the Cold War, The Real Book About Our Armed Forces by Clayton Knight and K.S. Knight is a vivid snapshot of how America introduced its military to the next generation of young readers. Clayton Knight was a respected aviation author and illustrator whose credentials gave this book real authority as a document of its era — when civic pride and military awareness were woven into the fabric of American childhood.
Part of Garden City Books' beloved Real Book series, a consistently collected mid-century children's non-fiction staple alongside the Random House All About Books titles. A solid, readable copy with the honest character of a well-traveled vintage book.
