May I recommend “Stepping Stones Across The Pacific: A Collection Of Short Stories From The Pacific War” by Tibor Torok?
His son and I used to play together while his dad and my dad worked together at MCAS Beaufort.
I guess it was too painful for him to write about until 1999, my dad, who talked very little about those days, allowed it was pretty accurate...
I will find it and read it....
