"DUNGAREES & FROGSKIN" USMC MARINE US WW2 JACKET PANTS BOOTS CAP REFERENCE BOOK

Description

To defeat Japan, US power in the Pacific grew to include thousands of warships and 6 full divisions of Marines. After turning the tide at Guadalcanal, the Leathernecks slugged it out with the Japanese island by island on the long, hard road to Tokyo. The uniforms, insignia, and personal items used by those Gyrenes have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Harlan Glenn to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2005. This "DUNGAREES & FROGSKIN" USMC MARINE US WW2 JACKET PANTS BOOTS CAP REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 393 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of P-41 and P-44 sage HBT uniforms, P-42 and P-44 "frogskin" camo HBT uniforms, "frogskin" camo helmet covers, Paramarine jump smocks and jump boots, MarDiv patches, 8 point caps, summer, winter, and dress blue uniforms, boondockers, body armor, skivvies, wrist watches, souvenir pennants, personal items, and much, much more.
