DESCRIPTION:
"First read this book in 78 and is just as" according to S Thornburg. First read this book in 78 and is just as enjoyable as the first time. Well written and well researched. A valued book in any collection on Marine Corps aviation history.
A basic history of each Marine Fighter Squadron is in the index, but it is the fascinating history of the air war that holds special appeal to most readers.. Because of its significance in the military history of this century and author's matchless style, it is truly a Great War story. Sherrod writes both from personal experience as a Time/Life correspondent during WWII and from careful archival research with Marine War Diaries, Unit histories, and Muster Rolls. Robert Sherrod's History of Marine Corps Aviation in World War II is one of the best-documented books on World War II
