hopefully someone here, who would like a copy can get a hold of it.....

question, did the men who served in the 401st get a copy of this book? what is a fair price for the book?

Yes members of the 401st BG did get a copy of this book from the Assn. at the time. The 1946 version is the most sought after as it was the first printed with color emblems of the 4 Squadrons of the Group. The B/W version are reprints when more of them wanted a copy of the Blue Book. As far as fair price most have gone for at least $150-$300 and really depends on when the book becomes available on Ebay.

I hope that helps to some degree.
