HISTORY OF PM (part 2)

“Early in the Spring of 1940, the first raw recruits for Task Force PM gathered in a loft in Brooklyn, a few blocks away from the Long Island R.R.’s Flatbush Avenue station, and began their training for the invasion of New York with a new kind of newspaper. By the first week in June they had translated the prospectus on which the money to pay them had been raised into copy for the first prepublication issues-and these had been printed a mile and a half away on presses that had been leased from the BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE.”
