the headquarters were primarily in quantico and san diego. >> yes. that was before the war. the marine corps aviation structure at that time was one east coast, one west coast and each of them detachments either to the virgin islands or other places in the caribbean are out to hawaii. but at the time of pearl harbor, i think there were only about a dozen marine corps squadrons and as a comparison, the appendix in this book lists all 50 marine corps fighter squadrons that served outside the united states during world war ii. so there is tremendous expansion. >> what if they fly? i actually voted down. what is the rooster buffalo? >> the brewster f2 way was a prewar fighter, fairly significant enabling the haitian history. it went operational in 1939 as the navy and marine corps aviation's first monoplane fighter is opposed to the two wing biplanes previously. it's only combat in american surveys was a disaster situation at the battle of midway in june 1942. fortunately, the airplane with a much more successful wildcat remains the marine corps' primary fighter well into 1943.

civil war came later when i was working for the marine corps at quantico and we did staffing for allof the battlefield. i had to get interested in it because that was my job. i really developed more of an interest in it at that time. and this particular book grew out of the first book on the ghost, and the ghost came from gettysburg. because we were on little round top talking about guys who are last in their class. i thought how many guys are last inin the class at gettysburg? turned out there were six at gettysburg who are last in the class.
