1945 WWII Moresby to Manila Via Troop Carrier US ARMY AIR FORCE South Pacific

  

Moresby to Manila Via Troop Carrier: True Story of the 54th Troop Carrier Wing, The Third Tactical Arm of the U. Army Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific.

Published: Angus and Robertson, Ltd. 278 pages with hundreds of photos, maps and chronological history of the unit and its involvement in the Southwest Pacific theater from New Guinea to the Philippines. Many of the photographs were snapshots taken by the soldiers themselves rather than by professional photographers. Very minor wear to cover. Pages are clean with the exception of a very few pen underlining with some notes in the side margins identifying particular men involved in the story.

The previous owner was obviously someone who was familiar with the men and the story.
