    [Two phantom-level postcards issued by the Ministry of the Army]
    This product is a postcard of the Patriotic Schoolgirl, which was popular as Patriotic No. 30 before the war, that is, a total of two phantom-level postcards that are extremely difficult to obtain, called "The Brave Figure of the Patriotic Schoolgirl" issued by the Ministry of the Army. It is a set.
    Now, the word "patriotism" has come up, but I will briefly explain it.
    The Patriotic Issue was procured and delivered to the Army in Japan in the 1930s and 1940s before the war, not by spending from the national military budget formulated by the government and parliament, but by donations from the general public and non-munitions industries. It is a nickname given to the aircraft.
    The delivery of the aircraft was in the form of local residents, companies, and members of organizations spending money to purchase the aircraft from the manufacturer and donating it to the Army, but in reality it was within the Ministry of the Army. An organization called the National Defense Donation Committee intervened and took charge of all administrative procedures, including the purchase of the aircraft.
    In some cases, volunteers with assets donated funds to purchase the aircraft individually.
    This product, Patriotic Schoolgirl (Patriotism No. 30), is a model of Hachihachi Reconnaissance Type 2, and a dedication ceremony was held in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture on June 19, 1932, and the donors are female students nationwide. ..
    Model → Hachihachi Reconnaissance Type 2
    Date and time of dedication → June 19, 1932
    Dedication ceremony place → Tokorozawa
    Dedicated → Female students nationwide
    The Patriotic Schoolgirl (Patriotic No. 30) is a type 2 reconnaissance aircraft, but later participated as the 10th Battalion (the 10th Battalion survived from 1938 to 1945).
    At the time of the Manchurian Incident (1932), the most popular Army airplane was the Patriotic Schoolgirl (Patriotic No. 30) Type 88 type 2 reconnaissance aircraft, and everyone wanted to ride it.
    At first, a single person was selected by the commander's plan, but fortunately it became a martial arts machine, withstood about 1,000 hours of flight within about 3 years, and finally it was used until it rattled. is.
    In this way, the Patriotic Schoolgirl (Patriotic No. 30) was very popular with military personnel and was a longing target.
    Regarding postcards associated with the Patriotic issue, the Army is preparing commemorative postcards on the premise that the donor will bear the cost.
    In other words, the Army took the form of preparing commemorative postcards at the expense of the donor.
    In the case of this product, it is a commemorative postcard made by the Army on behalf of the preparation by female students all over the country spending money (although it was actually issued by their parents).
    Since the Patriotic Schoolgirl issue was dedicated in 1932, it is probable that this commemorative postcard was also produced in 1932.
    When creating the commemorative postcard, the contributor and the Army would have discussed it, and there would have been censorship by the Army.
    I have no idea how many copies were printed on this product.
    Creating postcards is quite expensive and not easy to make.
    Therefore, it is considered that only a very limited number of copies were made.
    By the way, I searched with the National Diet Library, worldcat, which is connected to libraries, museums, and art galleries around the world, search sites that are connected to museums in Japan, and CiNii Books, which is connected to university libraries in Japan. However, I didn't have it anywhere.
    It has never been put up for auction in the past (in the last 10 years) or worldwide.
    , An extremely rare postcard.
    Since it is a used item, we are waiting for a bid after confirming it with the image and convincing.
    This is an old item, so please understand before purchasing.
