Book Description: PACIFIC EXPRESS is the third volume in William L. McGee's acclaimed series, AMPHIBIOUS OPERATIONS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC IN WORLD WAR II. From the Back Cover Victory is won or lost in battle, but all military history shows that adequate logistics support is essential to the winning of the battle. In WWII, 16.1 million men and women served in the U.S. Armed Forces. For every ONE who served in combat, TEN served in a support role. Now under one cover, an edited collection of the best works by noted military historians on the importance of military logistics in WWII. The editors profile the many major components that made up the Pacific express including: U.S. Navy Seabees and U.S. Marine Corps Engineers who built the Advance Bases. U.S. Navy crews who manned the amphibious force and Fleet s floating mobile Service Squadrons throughout the vast reaches of the Pacific. U.S. Merchant Marine and U.S. Naval Armed Guard who manned and defended the thousands of WSA cargo ships, transports, and tankers to deliver the goods! U.S. Coast Guardsmen who manned hundreds of U.S. Army and Navy long-haul vessels and thousands of battle-loaded amphibious landing ships and craft. 111b&w photos, 7 maps, 21 figures, tables & charts, plus appendix, notes, bibliography and index.Other books in the series:THE AMPHIBIANS ARE COMING!
