WWII-Era Airmail Cover: PFC Ross Moon, 11th Airborne Division Special Troops (APO 468) to Miss Marianne Sammet, Richmond, California

A wartime envelope sent by PFC Ross Moon of the 11th Airborne Division's Special Troops to Marianne Sammet of Richmond, California, cancelled through Army Post Office 468 - the mail routing used by the 11th Airborne during its Pacific War service and subsequent occupation duty in Japan.
