One year later Paul, a blacksmith who worked for Missouri Pacific Railroad, enlisted in the Navy 88th Construction Battalion ("Seabees") to fight the Japanese and wrote Catherine almost 700 letters, postcards, wires, and V-mail's from December, 1942, to June, 1945.

Book Synopsis Good Night Officially by : Yeoman James Orvill Raines
Download or read book Good Night Officially written by Yeoman James Orvill Raines and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My interest in USS Howorth originated during my thirty-three months of duty in the Pacific Fleet destroyer Hamner, named after Howorth's gunnery officer killed at Okinawa, Lieutenant Henry R. "Pete" Hamner. His legacy jncluded the Reader's Digest subscriptions his mother presented each year to the wardroom and crew. Later, as executive officer in the hydrofoil Plainview, exasperated by the endless stream of logs and records demanded by higher authorities, I peevishly tested the navy's record system and wrote away for information on Lieutenant Hamner and Howorth. I was surprised by the magnitude of the material documenting Howorth's Pacific War, ranging from hourly barometric readings and seawater injection temperatures to ammunition effectiveness reports.
Book Synopsis So Long for Now by : Jerry L. Rogers
Download or read book So Long for Now written by Jerry L. Rogers and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elden Duane Rogers died on March 19, 1945, one of the eight hundred who perished on the aircraft carrier USS Franklin that day. It was his nineteenth birthday. Write home often, the navy told sailors like Elden, thinking it would keep up morale among sailors and those waiting for them stateside. But they were told not to write anything about where they were, where they had been, where they were going, what they were doing, or even what the weather was like. Spies were presumed everywhere, and loose lips could sink ships. Before a sailor’s letter could be sealed and sent, a censor read it and with a razor blade cut out words that told too much. So Long for Now reconstructs the lost world of a sailor’s daily life in World War II, piecing together letters from Elden’s family in Vega, Texas, and from his girlfriend, the untold stories behind Elden’s own letters, and the context of the war itself. Historian Jerry L. Rogers delves past censored letters limited to small talk and local gossip to conjure the danger, excitement, boredom, and sacrifices that sailors in the Pacific theater endured. He follows Elden from enlistment in the navy through every battle the USS Franklin saw. Flight deck crashes, kamikaze hits, and tensions and alliances aboard ship all built to the unprecedented chaos and casualties of the Japanese air attack on March 19. “So long for now,” Elden signed off—never “Goodbye.” This moving work poignantly confronts the horrors of war, giving voice to a young sailor, the country he served, the family and friends he left behind, and the hope that has sustained them.

Book Synopsis Dearest Darling, Letters from World War II by : Catherine Emerson Porto
Download or read book Dearest Darling, Letters from World War II written by Catherine Emerson Porto and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dearest Darling tells the true story of the WWII romance and marriage of Anthony (Tony) Porto of New York, a Navy aerial photographer aboard the USS Saginaw Bay, and Bernice Hardey of Texas. From a box of letters stored for decades, their daughter-in-law recounts their inspiring life together. Key to the story are Bernice's late-in-life recollections of the letters Tony wrote to her while he was aboard ship in the Pacific during the final battles of WWII. The letters were a lifeline, as Bernice listened to news feeds from Tokyo Rose about supposed Japanese triumphs and worried about Tony's safety amidst the heavy fighting. When Tony died in 2011, Bernice disclosed to the family their lifelong secret, recalling how happy she was the day she finally received the long-awaited letter from Tony disclosing in code that he was finally coming home. Code? What code was she talking about? The code, which neither Tony nor Bernice had ever mentioned before, was his way of letting her know his ever-changing location in the Pacific without arousing suspicion from the Navy censor, who read all outgoing mail. Unraveling the code and reading Tony's elegant letters brings to life Bernice and Tony's deepening love amidst the backdrop of war. The letters chronicle his journey from aerial-photography training to pre-invasion surveillance to photographing the invasion of Iwo Jima. Dearest Darling is more than a classic WWII love story. Bernice's and Tony's postwar lives are inspiring examples of devotion to something bigger than oneself: in their case, faith, family, community, country, and--above all--each other.

With thousands of others he prepared for the ultimate invasion of the Japanese homeland that was averted only by unconditional surrender. Along the way Bob's sense of duty grew ever stronger, but his youthful idealism was tempered with healthy skepticism. He basked in the hero's welcome given by Australia to the 1st Marine Division, and he suffered the near-fatal effects of tropical diseases. He mourned the loss of a brother killed-in-action. See the war through his eyes and as he interpreted it through journals and in dozens of letters he mailed home.
