Item description from seller

xxi, [1], 283, 1] p. 26 cm. ENdpaper maps. Illustrations, Charts. Portraits. Index. Introduction by Rear Admiral Ernest McNeill Eller, USN (Retired), Director of Naval History. At the time of the First World War, with traditional ingenuity and energy, the Navy improvised the Naval Overseas Transportation Service--NOTS. This new command that swiftly grew from scratch to over 450 ships played a key role in victory. To the dismay of the enemy and wonder of our Allies, the UNited States put a trained army into the front lines within a few months and supplied it and the Allies with all the means of war. Behind a shield of combat ships, the Naval Overseas Transportation Service ably helped meet this challenge. NOTS men and ships established a remarkable record of getting the job done. Their contribution to final victory deserves high praise and wider understanding, for transportation is the vital link in all logistics. Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.
