"U.S. Marine Corps amphibious reconnaissance patrols preceded every major landing in the Pacific during World War II, coming ashore on rubber boats from submarines and high-speed transports to recon enemy beaches.". "This book chronicles many force recon firsts: HALO jumps from jets; operational parachute jumps from navy carrier aircraft; lock out and underway recovery of recon patrols from navy fleet submarines; live pickup of downed personnel by Fulton Skyhook; and the development of pathfinding tactics and equipment for Marine helicopter assaults. The groundbreaking work by First Force Recon pioneers has never before been recorded in detail. Meyers's account makes it clear how the company earned the reputation it enjoys today."--BOOK JACKET.
