California San Diego Naval Air Station, 1953. Magazine signed by Marilyn Monroe and most of the named contributors; folio (280 x 215 mm.); photographic illustrations throughout, original photographic wrappers with signed picture of Marilyn Monroe to upper cover, slight rubbing to extremities. A very good example of this relatively scarce periodical appearance of Marilyn Monroe, elevated exponentially by the actress's signature adorning the photograph of her in swimsuit as Miss N.A.S. San Diego on the upper wrapper, from a shoot she did with Hollywood photographer Bruno Bernard. Such early examples of Marilyn Monroe's signature are uncommon. The magazine has also been signed by nearly all the named contributors on their respective articles, including crime & travel writer Erle Stanley Gardner, most famous as creator of the Perry Mason series of detective stories.
