Pacific Bases

January 29th, 2009

I have found the official histories of the various US armed forces technical
branches to be bibliographic nightmares to track down. Did the Navy do
anything like the medical volumes done by the Office of the Surgeon General?
I’d really like to find out if there is data concerning series injuries
aboard warships in the Pacific. Also like to know how badly sailors were
plagued by malaria and the other jungle goodies that flourished in the
SOPAC. Tnx in advance.

Also, can anyone recommend a good book on Marine Corps aviation in that
covers the pre-WWII period?
