The Futurian War Digest (FWD, affectionately called FIDO) was a fanzine published by J. Michael Rosenblum during World War II from October, 1940 to March, 1945 which was pretty much indistinguishable from an APA. It gained an extraordinary amount of notice by being regularly published for 39 issues under the most trying of times and with major paper and supply shortages. Many other fanzines were bound and mailed with FIDO. These were mostly single sheet zines that other fen published with whatever resources they could muster. Some were done on one side only - the other side possibly on printed second sheets sent by US fans or forms and flyers that were acquired by whatever means.
