Book excerpt: Baked Beans is a follow-up to A Bird's Eye View, the story of the heavy cruiser USS Boston, and her exploits during WWll in the many battles against the Empire of Japan. After publication, Steve and brother Bill set-up a website dedicated the the Boston and it's crew from the ship's christening to it's final trip to the mothball fleet in Bemerton, WA, in January 1946. The website touched a nerve with friends and relatives of the crew. Sons and daughters and nieces and nephews began contacting the Kellys, wanting to share pictures, stories, memorabilia, documents and other treasures. That is the story of the beginning of Baked Beans. Not only does it contain first hand accounts - two sailor's diaries and notes; it also contains actual brochures and newsletters and certificates from the War. It is full of original photographs from the Boston (CA-69) collection at the National Archives in Wsshington, DC. If that's not enough, Steve has included interviews with four members of the original crew - 3 enlisted men and one officer - who share their memories of the mundane, "day-to-day life aboard the ship" stories, and anecdotes of milestone events and major battles. There really is something for everyone in these pages! Note - this is Volume 1 - covering the first part of the War, including the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Volume 2 is already in the works. There will be a Volume 3 as well . . .

Bayley's exploits on the ground hours after the Atomic Bombs went off over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Mr. Bayley was the commander of the ship's Marine Detachment.

In Norm's own words, he tells of his "forage" into enemy territory - bristling with soldiers and thousands of wounded civilians. Readers will also see diary entries, first hand accounts from men who were there, official documents and declassified photos from the National Archives.

This book was released on 2011-07-25 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, the U.S. military lost some 35,000 aircraft to enemy action, training incidents, typhoons, aircraft carrier deck mishaps, mechanical failures or just normal wear-and-tear where aircraft were scrapped and used for parts to keep others flying. Many just failed to return from their missions. To date, the 15,069 aircraft represented in this 3-volume set is information initially transferred from hand-written "Aircraft History Cards" and are the total number of U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard aircraft lost between 7 December 1941 and 15 August 1945, and lost outside the continental United States (CONUS). Volume I represents the information on any aircraft lost that was attached to the 197 different ships in the database. Given the thousands of hours that went into this effort, the author hopes that, as a 3-volume set of reference books, it provides assistance to others who are researching ship, squadron and aircraft histories.
