Eisenhower. Like the Jeep or the C-47 transport, it served in almost every theatre of World War II, performing unglamorous but vital service in the Allied cause. This book combines the first in-depth history of the development and employment of the type, with a detailed description of its construction, machinery, performance, and handling, based on the authors first-hand experience guiding the restoration of a wartime example for his museum. Well illustrated with plans and photographs, it will be of interest to model makers and enthusiasts, both military and naval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"US Naval Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947553615925,"sku":"ByrdShop_159114597X","price":227.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781591145974_faf800cf-6cb0-44f7-9875-2dd0e6b2376a_7fa0a2c0-04fa-4774-92c4-c702e6bb5582.jpg?v=1792727621","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-boat-that-won-war-an-illustrated-history-of-the-higgins-lcvp-9781591145974","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
