This page from a Navy/Marine Corps aviator's flight log book records combat sorties flown in July 1944 in the F4U-1 Corsair fighter, based in the Marshall Islands. The pilot logged repeated reconnaissance, combat air patrol, and strike missions against Wotje Atoll, a Japanese stronghold that American forces bypassed and isolated after capturing Kwajalein and Roi-Namur earlier that year rather than invading it directly. Such logs offer a precise, first-person record of a combat aviator's daily flying duties during the island-hopping campaign across the Central Pacific. Project: 218060
