Reviews Review from Goodreads: Jerome rated it 4 stars and had this to say, "I had two cousins that were in the Marines in Korea. I myself and another cousin joined the Marines in 1954, so this is an interesting topic for me. As for the book; It has a lot of photographs I have never seen before and is far more detailed than most as it covers the air wing as well as the ground troops of the first Mar. Div. FMF which I later served with."
