After a week of waiting for orders, the young pilots were tasked with delivering five new Corsairs to the island airstrip of Ulithi – a place that measured but a mile long and a half-mile across on the map. After they had delivered the planes, the eager young pilots found a landing craft tied to a pier. They got it started and headed out into the anchorage where about 100 ships were sitting in the lagoon. They had no flight orders and they were eager to get into the war. “All I ever wanted to do was fly,” Stan would say years later of the unorthodox manner in which he and his pals entered the war.

Foreword In narrating the naval history of a war, one approach open to a historian is to record the general story of naval operations, then complement the main history with works dealing with specialized fields. The Naval History Division plans to follow this approach in the case of the Vietnam War, focusing the Division's efforts primarily on an account of naval operations but accompanying the major history with publications in limited fields deserving of treatment beyond that to be given in the main work.

In both indexes, the subject or author (given in bold print) is followed by the title of the article; then (in bold again) the issue and page number, separated by a dash. For example, 1-10 is Issue 1, page 10; 85-12 is issue 85, page 12; and so on. See the table on pages 2 & 3 for the dates of each SubCommittee Report issue number. This is just a general index in that only article titles and authors are referenced. A normal index would include all references to particular subjects found within articles; that is not the case here. For example, just about any article written on building a model submarine will include a detailed description of the approach taken to constructing the hull or ballast tank, but the subject headings “Hull/Hull Layout” and “Ballast System/Tanks” only list articles that are specifically about those subjects; more, of course, will be found in articles and columns under other subject headings, which include the names of specific submarines and vendors. When there is overlap among topics in an article, it may be listed under more than one subject heading.
