Book Description
Merriam Press World War 2 Memoir Series. This work is compiled from the daily diaries Martin kept during his service as a Private a member of the 529th Engineer Light Ponton Co. and the 866th Engineer Aviation Battalion in the Pacific during World War II. This is a candid account of his everyday thoughts and activities as they happened. For this reason it is refreshing in its honesty. The work is illustrated by dozens of sketches the author made on the scene throughout the war, depicting daily life and activities, as well as the camps, harbors, bridges, airfields, and other engineering projects. While not trained as an artist, Martin's sketches are simplistic and yet they record much that would otherwise have been unseen. 1 photo, 69 drawings, 3 documents.

Shipmates
Author: Gary Burns
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476626464
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
In late 1944, 78 U.S. Navy sailors and officers climbed aboard a ship just 150 feet long and 23 feet wide, and headed toward the sound of gunfire. One of a class of gunboats known as "mighty midgets," LCS 52 carried an arsenal equal to ships twice its size. Yet its shallow draft enabled it to maneuver to within a few hundred feet of any beach. Packed inside the tiny craft, the diverse crew were farmers, students, cooks and teachers. They ranged from age 17 to middle-aged--a few had seen combat in the Atlantic and the Pacific. This book tells the story of the ship's extensive service in World War II's Pacific Theater. Most of the crew survived the war, as did LCS 52 itself, serving in the U.S. Navy and Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force until 1958, when it was decommissioned and used for artillery practice. A roll call of crew members is included, with biographical information when available.
