AFGIB: Air Forces General Information Bulletin, Number 4, September 1942
 
This bulletin was published to assist in keeping all personnel of the Army Air Forces abreast of improvements and innovations in every aspect of aerial warfare.
 
New lessons were being learned every day in every theater of operations resulting in new tactical doctrines and techniques and led to the creation of more effective armament and equipment. The Air Forces General Information Bulletin (AFGIB) described such of these developments pertaining to aerial warfare as could be published in a restricted publication.
 
Originally published in September 1942 by Headquarters, Army Air Forces, Intelligence Service, as a mimeographed booklet measuring  8 × 10.5 inches.
