8AF yearbook unit histories

In the latter half of the 1940s many 8AF units were being deactivated and so commisioned the publication of their unit histories, not just to create a record but also to use up remaining funds which would otherwise have had to be handed over to higher commands. Newsfoto of Texas was one of the more popular publishers, although other publishers were used including some in the UK for those books created before the unit had returned to the USA. Many of these US publishers regularly printed high school yearbooks and a similar style was carried over into these unit histories, hence their "yearbook" nickname.

So far I have a partial list of these books, but if anyone can fill in the gaps it would be appreciated.
