Item description from seller

First edition, first printing. Fine cloth-bound hardcover with a touch of rubbing along the bottom edges of the boards and a very slight curve to the text block in a Fine dust jacket. All dust jackets are protected by a clear mylar cover. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. In 1942, Edward Steichen joined the US Navy and was given command of the newly created Naval Aviation Photographic Unit, whose mission was to document the activities of the aircraft carriers. For four years, Steichen and his hand-picked crew of professional photographers--Wayne Miller, Horace Bristol, Victor Jorgensen, Fenno Jacobs, Barrett Gallagher, Charles Kerlee, and Paul Dorsey--recorded the battles in the Pacific close up, from the launching of torpedo-bombers and kamikaze attacks to pilot debriefings and the deck and support crews. Woven into the historical context the text provides are anecdotes from Lt. Commander Edward Steichen's life. Text by Christopher Phillips. 256 pages; over 200 duo-toned b&w photographs; 9.5 x 12.25 inches. Bibliography, index. Due to size and weight, international and expedited shipping will be more than quoted. …
