Revealing Truk

I was especially pleased to see Thomas McKelvey Cleaver’s piece “Destroy Truk!” in the April 2018 issue. I’ve been reading aviation history and WW II history since I was old enough to read, some 60-plus years, and I have a special interest in the war in the Pacific. I have read about the attacks on Truk in many books and countless articles, but this is the first one I’ve seen that has photos with sufficiently wide angles to actually see what the place looked like. We’re with you, Mick. These are the first overall photos we’ve seen as well.—BD
