Robert Sherrod's History of Marine Corps Aviation in World War II is one of the best-documented books on World War II. Because of its significance in the military history of this century and author's matchless style, it is truly a Great War story. Sherrod writes both from personal experience as a Time/Life correspondent during WWII and from careful archival research with Marine War Diaries, Unit histories, and Muster Rolls. A basic history of each Marine Fighter Squadron is in the index, but it is the fascinating history of the air war that holds special appeal to most readers.
