Philadelphia: D. McKay Co, Date: 1943. Quarto. 64 unnumbered pages, issued in a comic form at ten cents and was very popular by boys whose fathers were away at war. The author was 6 feet 7 inches but such a good reporter, the marines let him join the D-day invasion of the Solomon Islands. One of the best accounts of that campaign and very accessible in the pictures accompanied by text. A 2" x 3" piece torn away from one page near gutter at lower portion of text lacking a few words to text and another closed edge tear to same page, not affecting text, otherwise a good copy of a very scarce item Ad on back was for David McKay's ad for their booklet: Cuties in Arms which hinted at the men who might have a physical attraction to pretty women. [OCLC records only one copy in an institution.]. 1943. D. McKay Co US
