"Courageous Couriers"
In November 2008 I received a call from Jake Van
Dyke of Florance, Alabama. He told me that after
the American Pigeon Journal went out of business,
a relative of Frank Hollmann, who was a relative
and member of the Tennessee Pigeon and Dove
Club, acquired the remaining copies of an out of
print book called "Courageous Couriers". The relative
distributed copies to all the club members and
then Jake acquired the remaining books. These books have been
in storage for many years and in November 2008, Foy's purchased
the remaining books and, while they last, we offer these antique,
World War II books to you, our customer. This edition was published
by Frank Hollmann of The American Pigeon Journal in May 1977.
These "Memoirs of a Pigeon Soldier" and the chronology of events
commence with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It was a
well-kept secret, but an American infantry division landed in Northern
Ireland in January 1912, and by mid 1912 the United States was
deploying military pigeon communications detachments to overseas
destinations. Chapter 1 covers pigeons and Pearl Harbor. Chapter
II covers the pigeon as "Messengers Since Dawn of Civilization".
Many black and white photos are in this 136 page, soft covered book,
including many well known and some lesser known pigeon heroes.
Army lofts, equipment, personnel, methods and training information
is in this interesting book. Were you aware that you can train racing
homers to fly two ways, back and forth to two different lofts? This
book tells you how to do it.
There is just so much fascinating information. You'll be better informed
about your pigeons and you'll also learn much about how the
Pigeon Corps operated. This is a real collectors book.
