Welcome to Neubiberg Air Base 1955 Orientation Book Germany WWII Luftwaffe

Description

Original booklet "Welcome to Neubiberg Air Base", given as orientation to new airmen at the base in Munich, Germany. At the time, the formerly German Luftwaffe base housed the American 317th Troop Carrier Wing, flying C-119 Flying Boxcar aircraft.
The small booklet is about 4"x5", 26 pages. Probably 1955, based on marking inside cover Ger-55-5006 and the other items in the military man's collection from whence it came. It is filled with details about the base and life there, with minute details such as how to get hunting permits at the Rod and Gun Club, a phone directory, and with a small base map on the back. Scarce, I can't find any others online or on Worthpoint past sales. In very good condition with light wear, no markings or tears.
According to Wikipedia, "
starting in 1935 and during World War II Neubiberg was an active Luftwaffe air base known as Unterbiberg. In 1944 Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter-bombers of Jagdverband 44 were stationed there. It was bombed by 15th Air Force B-24s on 16 February 1945. American armored units captured the base in April 1945. After Neubiberg's capture, the United States Army Air Forces designated the base as Airfield R-85 Camp Rattle and stationed the 225th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Searchlight Battalion there on 16 June 1945. The 317th TCW was moved to Neubiberg from Rhein-Main Air Base in 1953 to address an overcrowded condition. Flying C-119 Flying Boxcars, the Wing remained for almost four years before transferring to Evreux-Fauville Air Base France. "
