Requirements: .ePUB reader, 22 MB
Overview: The fascinating account of a war artist at work in the U.S. Navy Pacific command after the “Day of Infamy” attack on Pearl Harbor.
“IN THE autumn of 1942, three young Combat Artists were commissioned to add their records in drawings and paintings of the Navy’s tremendous effort in this war. I had been on active duty for just a year, with two oversea duties that took me from Iceland and the North Atlantic Patrol before Pearl Harbor, to Oahu and Midway last spring and summer. Therefore I could share their enthusiasms for their first sea duty as Naval artists, their burning desire to give the best they had to the Navy, and their gratitude to our commanding officer, Captain Leland P. Lovette, Director of Public Relations, for ordering them overseas. At this writing all three are still away. Lieutenant (j.g.) Dwight Shepler is in the Solomon area, where he has seen and depicted much hot action, as it took place close about the ships in which he was serving. Lieutenant (j.g.) William Draper is in the Aleutian area, and Ensign Mitchell Jamieson is in European waters.
