Built with twin, underwing engines, tricycle landing gear and shoulder-mounted wings, the Grumman F7F Tigercat was an unusual looking, all-metal fighter. It was also one of the highest- performance piston-engined fighters of all time. Originally designed as a carrier-based aircraft, the F7F failed its initial trials, and ended up flying primarily as a land-based attack aircraft for the Marines. Equipped with radar and a second seat for an operator, the Tigercat also flew as a night-fighter and reconnaissance platform. Although it was introduced in 1944, the Tigercat never saw action in WWII, and had a limited role in Korea. The F7F found a new role in non- military use, flying as a fire-fighting aircraft and camera ship for Hollywood in the 1970s. Originally printed by the U. S. Navy, this declassified F7F Flight Operating Manual taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. This facsimile has been slightly reformatted.

War Diary: U. S. S. Alabama, 1942-1944 is a historical book written by the U. S. Navy. The book is a detailed account of the activities, operations, and battles of the U. S. S. Alabama, a South Dakota-class battleship that served in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The book is based on the official war diary of the ship, which was maintained by the ship's officers and crew. The book provides a comprehensive and firsthand account of the ship's activities, including its participation in major battles such as the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf. It also covers the ship's daily routine, including training exercises, maintenance, and repairs. The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods of the ship's deployment, and each chapter is accompanied by maps, photographs, and illustrations that help to bring the ship's story to life. The book also includes a glossary of naval terms and a detailed index, making it a valuable resource for historians, naval enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of World War II.
