Description

Vol. 2 No. 1 ……. Cover: Anniversary Issue – Pacific Sunset. Silhouetted against the tropic evening sky is this twin 40-mm dual-purpose antiaircraft gun with its crew on the stern of a Navy landing ship (LSD). While it looks pretty peaceful, the picture was taken by YANK’s Sgt. Dick Hanley on the Hollandia mission. And that was another sunset – for the Japs. …….
