The United States Marines in North China 1945-1949,’ by Henry I. Shaw, Jr.

While web searching I found this very interesting article posted on Air University’s web site. Air University is headquartered at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The university is “a key component of Air Education and Training Command, and is the Air Force's center for professional military education.”

The article is entitled ‘The United States Marines in North China 1945-1949,’ and Henry I. Shaw, Jr., authored it. This work was originally printed in 1960, revised two years later and reprinted in 1968.

‘The United States Marines in North China, 1945-1949’ is a concise narrative of the major events which took place when Marine ground and air units were deployed to the Asian mainland at the close of World War II. The text and appendices are based on official records, interviews with participants in the operations described, and reliable secondary sources. The pamphlet is published for the information of Marines and others interested in this significant period of Marine Corps history.
