War Assets Administration

Bob Parmenter has discovered a document from the WAA that consists of 500 Press Releases, 1945-46, about surplus sales of all kinds of wartime items from steel plants to gas masks, 17,000 homing pigeons, Navy target kites, and hundreds of facilities. He has kindly extracted those with aviation related items which are now in the files on the Air-Britain website at
