JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post

This pamphlet turned up in my Library of Congress "Pamphlets Collection" collection-it had the feel of something that was widely distributed as a home front piece of positive news, but it turns out that it does not show up cataloged in the usual places (like WorldCat/OCLC). There is no printed date and no place of publication other than "Imprime en Angleterre" (stamped on the back cover).

There are no copies whatsoever located in WorldCat/OCLC.
