Iron-on transfer index
Numbers and dates in bold are from copies of my virtual and personal collection and so I have personal knowledge of their accuracy
Other numbers are best-guess and sequential-logical which includes numbers that were not written on the cover of the magazine
When I am not sure which issues do not have a letter
in the number code, I have assumed the letter is there as most issues do have
the C. After December 1943 there is no letter in the number code.
I will be updating and correcting this list as new information comes in.
