SEE PHOTO-----Complete originalnewspaper, the Carlisle Evening Sentinel (PA) datedJune 22, 1944. Bold banner headline and front page map with detailed coverage of the naval BATTLE of the PHILIPPINE SEA, the decisive WW II naval battle that "broke the back" of the Japanese navy.
The Battle of the Philippine Sea (aka "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot") was a decisive naval battle of World War II, and the largest aircraft carrier battle in history. It was fought between the navies of the United States and the Empire of Japan. Part of the wider Pacific War, this action occurred on June 19–20, 1944 off the Mariana Islands and also involved Japanese land-based aircraft. The engagement proved disastrous for the Imperial Japanese Navy, which lost three aircraft carriers and some 600 aircraft, termed by Americans the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot. These losses are largely attributed to the obsolescence of the Japanese aircraft and the inexperience of the Japanese carrier aircrew (many experienced pilots had died during the Guadalcanal campaign, Midway, and other engagements) in contrast to the U.S. Navy's more modern Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter, its better-trained and more experienced airmen, and its radar-directed combat air patrols.
This is a real TIME MACHINE that takes the reader back 66 years !! Great gift for a Baby Boomer or someone born in 1944.
