I've seen some of those in several books which dated from the 1950s and 1960s as well [including Clear for Action and an old HC edition of Winston Churchill's Memoirs] - the one of the Cassin and Downes, the one with the Shaw exploding, and the one with the explosion behind the PBY are particularly common and have been in many books. Still, some of those I have never seen in my life, so maybe it was those which were held back from publishing and not the rest.
