Thousands of hours of research have culminated in this First Edition of
U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and Naval Air Transport
Service patrol aircraft lost or damaged during World War II. Within
these 600+ pages can be found more than 2,200 patrol aircraft across
nearly 300 squadron designations; the majority of the aircraft complete
with their stories of how they were lost or damaged or simply Struck Off
Charge (SOC) and removed from the Navy's inventory. Of interest to the
reader may be the alphabetical Index to the 7,600+ names of Officers,
aircrewmen and others mentioned in the book.
