Book Description
On February 19, 1945, seven battalions of U.S. Marines landed on the eastern beaches of Iwo Jima. On the southernmost flank, in the shadows of Suribachi, the First Battalion, 28th Marines, stormed ashore into the bloodiest and most renowned of all battles fought by the U.S. Marine Corps. Thirty-six days later, the Marines overran the "Bloody Gorge" and dislodged the last enemy holdouts. The battle was over, but at great cost: 225 of the First Battalion's men died on Iwo Jima. Based on official reports and personal accounts, this is a day-by-day history of the First Battalion, 28th Marines, on Iwo Jima. Each chapter presents an overview of that day's combat and other relevant events, and also contains the text of that day's official regimental and battalion narratives. The text is complemented by a chronology and transcribed muster rolls for February and March 1945.

Narrative of the Campaigns of the 28th Regiment
Author: Major Charles Cadell
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1908902361
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
The North Gloucestershire, or 28th Regiment of Foot, had a long and honourable list of successes during the Napoleonic Wars: they were engaged at Coruña, Talavera, Albuera, Vittoria, the Pyrenees, the Nive and the Nivelle, and were conspicuous during the Waterloo Campaign at both Quatre Bras and the era-defining battle. Captain Cadell (as he was at that time) served throughout the period, and his memoirs are filled with the hard engagements with the enemy. He commanded the company of grenadiers of the 1st battalion and was at the cutting edge of all the fighting. His writing style is lucid, filled with memorable anecdotes of the action, and often asides about the men under his command. An excellent memoir of a hard-fighting regimental officer. Author — Major Charles Cadell (1786-1866)

South Dakota Warbird Survivors 2003
Author: Harold A. Skaarup
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1462047521
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
For those of you who are familiar with the airspace over South Dakota and its environs, the weather and colors of the landscape running from the bare prairie to the Badlands and the Black Hills can be incredibly beautiful, particularly early in the morning. The state is also home to a considerable number of retired warbirds and gate guardians. Ellsworth Air Force Base, for example, has been the home of military aviation in South Dakota since the Second World War. It is my hope that this book will show you where to find and view some of South Dakota's veteran military aircraft, and to perhaps take an interest in some of the military aviation history that can be found in this warm and friendly state that is home to the Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials in the Black Hills, as well as the last resting place of Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood. This book is specifically intended to provide a "where are they" guide for residents and visitors to South Dakota who are interested in its rich resources of historical military aircraft, as well as contact information for the museums and airfields that display them.
