MICKEY'S MINESWEEPER - One Account of a Navy Yeoman During World War Two: PACIFIC WAR - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

(From notes of a navy Chief Yeoman aboard a minesweeper at sea during World War II and the surrender of Japan.) MAX and the Minesweeper, is the continuing story of a man from Quitaque, Texas. Stationed aboard a navy minesweeper during the Second World War, Max wrote the story of his life as if he were never to see the states again. In Chapter One and Two Max tells of his upbringing in the Dust Bowl of Texas and his teen years living in the Depression. Then, with the heart of a new recruit, he expresses the feelings of an All American kid who finds himself in the middle of a world war. Through his joining the navy, training, and aboard his new assignment, we follow Max as he eventually heads off to fight in the Pacific war. Max was as American as apple pie, baseball and the red, white and blue. It was just such as Max that helped America and its allies win that conflict, or any other. And he was there to see the surrender and occupation of Japan. Parsons Publishing Company
