Once upon a time, not too many years ago, a warship, an aircraft carrier, plied the waters of the Pacific Ocean searching for an enemy that was known, but whose whereabouts were not. Intrigue and a certain mystery accompanied her activities; she would strike an unsuspecting blow at a remote Japanese strategic target and then disappear in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.
An eminent columnist of that era, Walter Winchell, gave her the sobriquet "The Galloping Ghost of the Oahu Coast," after her speedy, unbelievable overnight refueling and re-provisioning at Ford Island during the night of 8 December 1941. The moniker was, and is, forever hers. She continues to gallop through the annals of naval history and the minds of the men who served aboard her.
The performance, dedication, and devotion to ship and country by her crew in competition and under fire are unexcelled. The men of the "Big E" embodied the best of what it meant to be a US Servicemen: valor, courage, and sacrifice. The USS Enterprise was the most decorated carrier of World War II, reflecting the caliber and devotion of the men who comprised her crew.
This second installment of our Personal History Series brings to life the story of one of her crew members, radio-gunner Jack Leaming. After being shot down near Marcus Island, Mr. Leaming and his pilot spent the rest of the war as POWs in Japan. Relive his story of perseverance and courage under brutal conditions.
Soft cover. 112 pages. Includes black and white photos.

When my wife and I visited Hawaii in August 2014 I bought one of these shirts while I was over there but have only worn it on rare occasions because I thought I would not be able to get the same T-shirt again. Having gone online and found they are still available I bought another one and now wear my original one every week. They fit perfectly, are made of great quality material, good price and the graphics look stunning and I have since bought a cap to match.
Wearing it now as I write this. Purchased one in January this year when I visited Pearl Harbor and subsequently left it behind at a restaurant and never found it.Be more careful now
I purchased this same mug when my wife & I visited Pearl Harbor in May of this year, and I was so impressed with the quality and graphics that I bought another one for a friend.
It's a great book. I had the book years ago. Everyone should get the book who is interested about the USS Enterprise CV 6 And her Air group beginning of World War Two.
I bought this book for my staff to celebrate Nurses Day! What an honor to share this book with them, a first-hand account of the sacrifices and challenges that helped mold our profession. As active-duty uniformed service nurses, we must always remember that although these individuals may not have fought the war with a weapon, they fought with their hearts and souls to ensure that the soldiers and all involved were cared for and loved.
