Great red cover :applause:

 

Kids not old enough to drive, risking life and limb in an unregistered and (I assume) uninsured vehicle.

 

Gasoline rationing be damned.

 

Nearby adults -service personnel, no less - are not only unconcerned, but seem to approve.

Thanks! I had looked for one for awhile( and I've had this one a few years now). Have looked for other copies still, as it's the kind of book I wouldn't mind owning two copies of, but doesn't show up for sale.
