Nice Copy. octavo. dust jacket ix + 126pp., b/w plates, text ills., plans, map, appends., index, ÔRobert Johnson was just eighteen when he joined the Coast Guard in 1941. Assigned to the cutter Haida before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, he spent his first months on peacetime duty in the Bering Sea. With the advent of the war, however, the cutter embarked on convoy duty in the Gulf of Alaska and along the Aleutians. Far more than the typical war diary, this memoir offers readers a real sense of the enlisted man's life at sea in World War II.Õ Neat ownership signature o/w a nice copy
