No less than Dwight Eisenhower described Andrew Jackson Higgins as
"the man who won the war for us," referring to the landing craft he
perfected. Those craft, the WWII LCP(L), LCP(R), LCV, LCVP, and
LCM, are presented in this volume (the first of two on US landing
craft), along with the larger LCI (Landing Craft, Infantry). These
vessels, built in the tens of thousands, formed the armada that put
Allied troops ashore in North Africa, the Aleutians, and Normandy
and across the Pacific. Though many of these designs were initially
planned as essentially disposable vessels, ultimately many of these
continued to serve the nation's need through Vietnam. Some were
even heavily laden with rocket launchers and used for close-in
support for troops going ashore. Part of the Legends of Warfare
series.
