;Death Rattlers: Marine Squadron VMF-323 over Okinawa КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ Название: Death Rattlers: Marine Squadron VMF-323 over OkinawaАвтор: William WolfИздательство: Schiffer PublishingISBN: 0764309536Год: 1999Страниц: 216Формат: PDF в RARРазмер: 46.84МБЯзык: английскийNearly every World War II fighter squadron that flew in Europe has had its history chronicled. Other than "Pappy" Boyington's famous VMF-214 "Black Sheep", little has been written about Marine Corps squadrons in World War II. The contribution of VMF-223, the "Death Rattlers", over Okinawa in the Spring of 1945 is virtually unknown. In two months there, the squadron became the top-scoring unit of any service with 124 1/2 victories and produced 12 aces, the most for one tour of any Marine squadron. The squadron downed 24 3/4 Japanese aircraft twice in its tour, the most for a single Marine squadron in any single action. The squadron's story is not only one of its pilots, combat, and valor, but also of the enlisted men, "the ground-crunchers," who made it function against the Japanese kamikaze menace. Along with the traditional historical perspective, it is an inside look at the personal side of training and war. It is the story of a group of untried young men who trained long and hard and became "family."Скачать: Depositfiles UploadingHotfile 85
