My collection for Victory Field is complete, except for a gap between this issue (Pattern for Victory - 42E) and Victory Field - 42K. Missing are the class books 42-F through 42-J. There do not appear to be any issues for 1945 (Victory Field closed).
I am most curious what issues for Victory Field exist in this gap, and in which issue was the transition for the name between 42-E and 42-K changed from "Pattern for Victory" to "Victory Field".
