This 1944 letter from Leatherneck magazine, the official publication of the U.S. Marine Corps, accompanies photographic prints sent to 1st Lt. Edward P. McAllen of Marine Fighter Squadron VMF-441 following the magazine's June feature story 'Wolf Pack.' The correspondence, noting wartime shortages of photographic supplies, illustrates both the close relationship between Marine aviators and their service publication and the small, personal gestures that helped maintain morale and connection among servicemen during World War II.
