WORLD WAR II MAGAZINE

Description: World War II magazine covers every aspect of history's greatest modern conflict with vivid, revealing, and evocative writing from top historians and journalists. Each issue provides a lively mix of stories about soldiers, leaders, tactics, weapons, and little-known incidents of the war, including riveting firsthand battle accounts and reviews of books, movies, and video games. And the most authoritative magazine on the war features a striking design that highlights rare, archival photographs and detailed battle maps to convey the drama and excitement of the most famous battles and campaigns. …And collect them you will, because WWII is more akin to the permanent reference in your library than the regular magazines you just flip through and discard. ARTICLES *SIDESHOW FIERCELY FOUGHT - Fifty years ago, while the U.S. Marines landed virtually unopposed on Guadalcanal, other Marines were invading two tiny islands to the north ... and learned what Japanese resistance would really be like. *ENEMY'S PERFECT HIT - As the escort carrier Liscome Bay turned to launch her aircraft off Makin on November 23, 1943, Lt. Cmdr. Sumano Tabata of I-175 found himself presented with a target that submariners dream of. *CONVOY GIVEN NO REST - Fifty years ago, the island of Malta welcomed the battered survivors of Operation Pedestal and their vitally needed food and supplies. But a vital question remained: Where was the tanker Ohio, with her precious cargo of fuel? *TEN PERCENT CHANCE OF VICTORY - While Oberst Friedrich von der Heydte received his tactical orders for an airborne attack over the American lines, General Sepp Dietrich's chief of staff muttered: "It's crazy. What a lunatic operation." I blurred out my name & address on the shipping label. (see photos) Please see my other auctions, there may be something that interests you. Thank you.
