YANK Magazine

[webmaster]

This is actually a pretty remarkable site, as it contains:
4 Years, 182 Issues, 2,581 Articles, 4,376pp: June 17, 1942 to December 28, 1945

These are full scanned copies which can be viewed page by page. If you click page layout you will get a complete thumbnail overview. The various issues are displayed by year, then by issue sequence, and then by individual issue.

Note you you change the PDF size, you can make the size and level of detail larger.

YANK MAGAZINE

I was flipping through one of my Yank copies and in the middle page where there was a map there was a caption on the top stating you could order Yank reprints from a certain company. There was a Lincoln, Nebraska address with a zip code and a phone number with an area code.

Area codes came about in 1947 but weren't fully implemented until the 1960s. Zip codes, however, weren't implemented until 1963.

So, this Yank (and possibly others I have) is a repro!

Another one I have says they'll take "Visa or Mastercharge."

Along those lines, I found this online on the Militeria Forum:

I know in the 80's it was possible to subscribe to Yank Magazine. Some company was reprinting them at the time. I don't know which edition these were, but I remember a fellow reenacter had a sub. and he got 1 a week, beginning with the first issue and ending with the final issue. I beleive the cost was around $50. a year.

This is a nice website. It takes all the female movie stars and entertainers and cross references them by name and issue. Each person is then linked to the page and the majority of the time to her photo. Most pages have the person "yank photo". But using the 182 Yank Magazine issues you can easy find the missing ones.
