Have same copy. I was repairman on the C-1 at San Angelo Army Air Base, San Angelo, TX 1944-45. It was a bombardier school. Also, trained on the Norden Bombsight at Lowry Field in Denver. Brings back many memories.

@Chris, such books sometimes come up for auction on eBay. Also try leaving a post on the forum at armyairforces.com. There may be a collector willing to sell you a copy. Of course to see the electronic copy of the book here, click the icon in the View column above.
