U.S. Navy Aviator's WWII Flight Logbook, September 1944 - Marshall Islands Combat Operations (Wotje, Kwajalein, Eniwetok)

This page from a Navy pilot's personal flight logbook documents combat operations flown during September 1944 in the Marshall Islands, including bombing strikes against Japanese-held Wotje Atoll and support flights among Roi-Namur, Kwajalein, and Eniwetok. The pilot flew Corsair fighters, a Hellcat, and Helldiver dive bombers, and a marginal annotation notes a mission flown alongside famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who served as a civilian technical advisor flying combat sorties with Pacific squadrons in 1944.
