The National Defense Research Committee NDRC was an organization created "to coordinate supervise and conduct scientific research on the problems underlying the development production and use of mechanisms and devices of warfare" in the United States from June 27 1940 until June 28 1941. Most of its work was done with the strictest secrecy and it began research of what would become some of the most important technology during World War II including radar and the atomic bomb. It was superseded by the Office of Scientific Research and Development in 1941 and reduced to merely an advisory organization until it was eventually terminated during 1947. The Yellow Coach Manufacturing Company informally Yellow Coach was an early manufacturer of passenger buses in the United States. Between 1923 and 1943 Yellow Coach built transit buses electric-powered trolley buses and parlor coaches. Founded in Chicago in 1923 by John D. Hertz as a subsidiary of his Yellow Cab Company the company was renamed "Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing Company" in 1925 when General Motors GM purchased a majority stake. After GM completely acquired the company in 1943 it was merged with GM's truck division to form the GM Truck & Coach Division. The car rental subsidiary known both as Hertz Drivurself Corp. and Yellow Drive-It-Yourself was purchased back by John Hertz in 1953 through The Omnibus Corporation and floated the following year as The Hertz Corporation. Yellow Truck & Coach division was selected to produce the 2-1/2-ton CCKW 6-cylinder 6x6 truck without a doubt one of the two most important vehicles of the war and numerically the most important. In addition to its use by US Forces the CCKW was supplied under Lend-Lease to Canada Britain and Free France. Available in two wheelbases the standard CCKW cargo truck was the most popular other variants included a water tanker gasoline tanker machine shop bomb transporter radio truck dump truck tippable cargo body and fire truck. Most memorable was the amphibious DUKW variant of which 2000 examples were built by Yellow Coach. Designed to make the transition from ship to shore more tolerable innumerable uses were discovered and they remain the only World-War II era vehicle in regular use today. Tour operators continue to operate the 60 year-old-vehicles on a daily basis. The hard work of Yellow Truck & Coaches' employees during the War was honored by an Army-Navy "E" award on June 2 1944. The Army-Navy Award for Excellence in War Production was typically normally awarded when a firm completed a large order for the US War effort or filled an order in a short period of time. At the ceremony the employees would be given an enameled pin mounted on a card certifying their contribution to the war effort with a message from the president. The employer would be presented with an “E’ flag and banner and outstanding employees would be presented with a special certificate. Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing Company paperback

801521 February 1946; 15 May 1947; and 28 July 1948. All three from Via Angelo Poliziano No. 69 Rome. Text of all three items clear and complete. All three on lightly aged paper creased and with some wear to extremities. Letter One 8vo 1 p; 20 lines of text: She thanks Bonham Carter for her 'kind and appreciative letter' and 'will see that through the English Embassy' she receives 'a copy of my short story: "I due prigionieri" of which your son is the protagonist'. An officer in the Grenadier Guards during the war Mark Bonham Carter had escaped from a prison camp in northern Italy. Describes material she is sending relating to her 'literary career'. The TLS 'spoke well of my poetry books'. Asks if it might be possible for her 'last novel which just came out entitled: "Viaggio di Nozze" ' to be translated into English or to have 'now and then some of my short stories published in English Magazines and Reviews' Bonham Carter 'as a mother' 'will realize that after the loss of my husband the burden of my family is wholly on me. As you may know living conditions here are terrible; during my absence from Rome my apartment was ransacked and I lost everything. This the reason why I must work to earn some money to support myself and my boys.' Letter Two 4to 1 p; 24 lines of typewritten text and six-line autograph postscript: Her friend Doctor Lando Luciani is going to London on a business trip and has agreed to take with him Gorini's two latest books for Bonham Carter. Once again enquires regarding the translation of her works into English. Letter Three 8vo 2 pp; 48 typed lines and a 7-line autograph postscript: She is sorry that she has not received 'la rivista contenente la novella che ricordava l'episodio di montagna; in questi giorni ho mandato la stessa novella ad un quotidiano della Sicilia e appena uscira gliene faro mandare due copie; poiche c'e il suo nome vero e il nome del suo amico sara un ricordo di quelle giornate calamitose. . Mi fa piacere che lei ricordi l'Italia con simpatia e se mai venisse a Roma magari per l'Anno Santo nel 1950 non dimentichi di venirmi a trovare . . . se io saro ancora viva'. Further speculation on the translation of her work into English in London or New York. Asks what Bonham Carter is doing in the latter place. Also included on four pieces of paper are two sets of two typewritten transcripts of reviews of Gorini's work: the first from The Times 27 December 1923 of 'Il Ritorno' 'The volume is already in its second edition and it deserves to be popular.'; and the second from the Times Literary Supppement 19 March 1925 of 'Nativita'. 21 February 1946; 15 May 1947; and 28 July 1948. All three from Via Angelo Poliziano No. 69, Rome. unknown
