If the copy I have does not have what you found in a PUBLIC library, then I would have to say the copy you have is a hoax. It seems you are now stating that other copies of the same book will not have that information in it.
Now I am wondering if I should cancel my order.
I went to the link you provided from amazon and if you look at the picture, the cover has an entirely different title. The photo title says, " The First 50 Yrs. U.S. Judge Advocate General's Department. It also says it's a paperback.
If you go to this link, you can see the cover photo is exactly the same as the OP posted and Chapter One 'Birthplace of Aviation:' is available to read.

hey all, here are those pictures i took a couple of hours ago when i checked into the book at my local library. they show the cover, the page originally photocopied, and the opposite page with the cutesy little-green-man toys/figurines.
just to settle the debate about, you know, whether or not this page actually exists in the book in question. personally, i still think it's meant by the publisher as a little lighthearted fun, as the rest of the book is very seriously devoted to documenting the history of wright-patterson.

I don't understand people's skeptisicm of wright patterson air force base having something like this.
wright patterson was used for reverse engineering of foreign government aircraft during the Cold War.
it also has very strong ties to roswell It is now commonly accepted by researchers that before the Ft. Worth flight, another flight to Wright-Patterson had already taken place, carrying debris and alien bodies.
also wright-patterson's hangar 18 was about as infamous as area 51 back in the day.
i do not se eit being a stretch of the imagination to think that it is possible.

There is something really fake looking about that scan.
The text is way too crisp for all the other copy machine like imperfections.
As being someone who was alive many more years than computers and photoshop have been around, I have used copy machines to xerox book pages all the way up through college. That's how you took information home from reference books, which you couldn't check out, before about 1995.
Unscientifically, I know what those pages should look like from experience and when the page is darkened and turned like that the text doesn't look crisp at all. The letters should be fuzzy and running together a bit more than they are. Also, the large title seems to be floating above the paper, not printed right on it. Maybe it's the lack of texture of the paper in the large letters that has me thinking that it looks a little off... just a little TOO sharp. There should be a paper like texture. This looks more like a book PDF than a photocopied page.
Nice try, but I think whomever photoshopped this together needs a little more practice in making realistic looking docs. I'm guessing it's someone under the age of 30, and thus hasn't seen thousands of photocoppied book pages like us old folk have. I'm 41. Hasn't been real long since the card catalog and copy machines was the norm.

my next step would be to contact the officers mentioned in the passage and see if there's any truth to their involvement in something like this. seems like the only available recourse.
