The
material relating to insignia of the OSS that was posted here in the
past is being expanded and incorporated into a book that will be of interest to
collectors of military insignia, especially, and to anyone with an
interest in the OSS: Insignia
and Uniforms of the Office of Strategic Services 1942-1945 by Troy
Sacquety and Les Hughes In
writing this book, the authors are drawing on extensive archival
research, the first-hand accounts of OSS veterans, a large number of
unpublished photographs, and material from several important collections
of OSS artifacts. In addition to illustrating and discussing the most
extensive collection of OSS-related insignia ever to appear in print,
the authors will address the many spurious items with which
collectors must contend. It is the intention of the authors, each of
whom holds a PhD, to provide collectors with a well-researched,
authoritative resource that will aid them in separating fact from
fiction and from speculation. Individuals
with material they wish to be considered for inclusion in the book may contact the authors at the link
below (use "Material for OSS Book" as the email's subject). Please
include a description of the material and its provenance, and attach pertinent
images. Publication is tentatively planned for late 2017. Check here for updates and details.
