Papers : of Matthew J. Bruccoli, 1972-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647829575

The papers document Bruccoli's efforts to authenticate "Order my firing squad for the afternoon" by W.W. Windstaff as edited by Stephen Longstreet, and his conclusion that the memoirs were a hoax. Correspondence between Longstreet and Bruccoli concerning the identity of Windstaff constitutes the bulk of the papers. In addition the collection contains Bruccoli's correspondence with men knowledgeable about World War I American aviators and expatriate residents of Paris in the 1920s including Malcolm Cowley and Arch Whitehouse; Longstreet's introduction to the book; a copy of the paste-up for the book; and lists of U.S. citizens with the Royal Flying Corps.
