Trained as a photo reconnaissance unit, the U.S. Marine Observation
Squadron 251 ended up serving as a fighter squadron for the
duration of World War II, shooting down 32 Japanese aircraft. They
earned several awards for outstanding performance, including the
Presidential Unit Citation. This book is the first to cover the
history of the VMO-251, one of the Marine Corps' longest-serving
squadrons. The author traces their operations from the unit's
activation on December 1, 1941, through Guadalcanal, the reduction
of Rabaul and their missions over the Philippines in 1945.
