The Fighting Corsairs: The Men of Marine Fighting Squadron 215 in the Pacific during WWII
 

I can't wait for this one. Not a lot written about the Marine Corsair Units in 1943.

I heartily recommend:

The Fighting Corsairs: The Men of Marine Fighting Squadron 215 in the Pacific during WWII
 

I have never seen any of those books. The Corsair one you sent a link for is really good? What all does it have in it?

Re: The Fighting Corsairs: The Men of Marine Fighting Squadron 215 in the Pacific during WWII
 

There is always Robert Sherrod's History of Marine Corps Aviation in World War 2. Second edition updates the original 1949 edition.

Enjoy!

Frank.

There's also Bruce Gamble's The Black Sheep.

Have both of Mr. Gamble's books on VMF-214 Black Sheep

Well, I co-authored it (I wrote the part dealing with the operational service), so I can vow for it. Everything I wrote there is primarily based on the squadrons' war diaries. Plus lots of photos you won't find in other publications.
Here's how the book looks inside:

Wow, that looks awesome! Thank you my friend, will definitely get it.
