THE HOLABIRD EXHAUST, Holabird Signal Depot, Baltimore, Maryland, Sept. 23, 1943 This is a "camp newspaper", one of hundreds that were produced at various military installations around the world during World War II.
As with most, it is crudely produced, providing news and information to military personnel at the depot.
Twelve pages, 8 by 10 1/2 inches, nice condition.
AI notes: THE HOLABIRD EXHAUST was a World War II–era camp newspaper produced at the Holabird Signal Depot in Baltimore, Maryland. This 12‑page newsletter—crudely printed and sized about 8 × 10½ inches—was created for military personnel stationed at the depot to share base news and information, similar to the hundreds of small publications that circulated among U.S. Army installations during the war. Because such camp newspapers were issued in limited runs and intended for internal distribution rather than wide civilian circulation, surviving copies are relatively rare today and of interest to collectors and historians of military ephemera; they occasionally appear in specialist historic newspaper catalogs but are not commonly found in general archives.
