Description
Japanese Assault Boats; Shanghai, 1937 by Victor Krulak and Charles Province In February 1937, Lieutenant Victor H. Krulak wrote a report on Japanese landing craft used during the invasion of Shanghai. This report led to his appointment as the Marine Corps' "Boat Man," prompting him to work closely with Andrew Higgins to design and test the Higgins Boat, a crucial innovation that enabled U.S. military amphibious landings worldwide during World War II. The story behind this pivotal development is one of collaboration, ingenuity, and strategic importance. This book provides a detailed account of Krulak's experiences and contributions to the development of the LCVP, a vessel that played a significant role in shaping the course of the war. With its unique blend of historical context and technical insight, Japanese Assault Boats; Shanghai, 1937 offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in military history.
