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

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?

[Frank Olynyk]

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

Enjoy!

Frank.

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.
