‎WORLD WAR II; US ARMY‎

‎Official reports concerning the United States Army during World War Two.‎

‎Washington: United States Government Printing Office 1943-45-46. Presentation copies from General George Marshall to his "miracle worker" General Brehon B. Somervell A complete set of the original official US Army wartime reports handsomely produced the personal copies of General Brehon Burke Somervell 1892-1955 George Marshall's commander of Services of Supply the first two being presentation copies from Marshall the cover of each volume gilt lettered with Somervell's name and rank. Services of Supply was one of the three "superagencies" organized by the US Army after the United States's entry into the war in December 1941 - the other two being Army Ground Forces and Army Air Forces - and gathered under its overarching aegis Quartermaster Corps Chemical Warfare Service Signal Corps Corps of Engineers Ordnance Department Medical Corps and Transportation Corps. "General George C. Marshall the army's chief of staff during World War II held Somervell in high regard for his ability to perform monumental tasks and was willing to overlook his penchant for antagonizing others. "What he did was a miracle" said Marshall in a postwar interview. The U.S. Army in World War II was probably the best-supplied army that had ever gone to war. Much of the credit for that accomplishment goes to Somervell who provided the "sinews of war" for a military effort that literally spanned the globe" American National Biography. Somervell is mentioned directly by Marshall in his concluding remarks to the first volume where he notes "The requirements of logistics are seldom understood. The burdens they impose on the responsible military authorities are rarely appreciated. The conflicting demands of our theater commanders of Allied sovereign powers and of the home front pose difficulties never before approximated in war. The necessity for a high degree of efficiency in management is evident and it has been found in the coordination of all the various supplies and administrative departments of the Army under the command and leadership of Lt. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell. "Published at two-year intervals these reports provide a comprehensive picture of global war as seen from the perspective of the Chief of Staff. The first report describes the race to mobilize an unprepared country and Marshall's appeal on the eve of war for the renewal of Selective Service a reminder of how far the U.S. Army had to come to meet the Axis challenge. The second recounts the initial defeats after Pearl Harbor and the ultimately successful efforts of the United States and its Allies to turn the tide. The final report describes the drive to victory and outlines Marshall's analysis of the reasons for the Allied triumph. Summaries give an overall view of the progress of the war but the scholar and military professional will find most interesting Marshall's comments on such topics as technology the "90-division gamble" the replacement system troop morale and the citizen-soldier and demobilization. These comments and the other material presented in the reports provide not only a fresh perspective on the myriad problems of conducting a global war at the highest levels but also renewed appreciation for the man whom Churchill appropriately called 'the organiser of victory'" Brigadier-General John W. Mountcastle foreword to the 1996 Center of Military History edition. This is a set of the scarce original edition produced by the United States Government Printing Office in Washington; trade editions were also produced by the Infantry Journal Press in the US and HMSO in Britain.

‎American Paratrooper Training in World War II Photo Album of Airborne Jump Exercise and Troop Carrier Operations in North Carolina‎

‎1943. United States Army airborne training operations documented in photographs created during World War II at Laurinburg Maxton Army Air Base in North Carolina. The images record the preparation and execution of paratrooper training jumps carried out as part of the rapid expansion of American airborne forces during the war. Photographs show soldiers receiving equipment checks boarding transport aircraft deploying from the air and regrouping on the ground after landing illustrating the coordinated logistical and training processes required to prepare airborne infantry units for combat operations. Airborne training facilities such as Laurinburg Maxton served as major preparation sites where paratroopers and troop carrier crews rehearsed the procedures that would later be used in large scale combat operations across multiple theaters of the war.<br /> <br /> Photograph album consisting of 45 black and white photographs mounted on eight unbound album pages. The images depict paratroopers wearing standard issue M1 steel helmets jump boots and M42 paratrooper jump uniforms equipped with web gear. Several photographs show soldiers conducting pre flight checks and assembling near transport aircraft before boarding. Aircraft visible in the photographs include a Douglas C-47 Skytrain bearing markings associated with the 317th Troop Carrier a transport unit that trained at Laurinburg Maxton before deployment overseas during the war. Multiple photographs capture the moment of airborne deployment with paratroopers descending beneath round canopy parachutes consistent with the T-5 parachute used by U.S. airborne forces during most of the war. Ground level images document soldiers gathering after landing and coordinating recovery operations providing visual evidence of the training routines that prepared airborne units for operational deployment.<br /> <br /> During World War II the United States military rapidly expanded its airborne capabilities developing specialized training programs that combined parachute infantry units with troop carrier aviation groups responsible for delivering soldiers and equipment by air. Troop carrier units such as the 317th Troop Carrier Group later played an important role in Allied airlift and airborne operations in the Pacific theater transporting troops and supplies and participating in airborne missions during campaigns in New Guinea and the Philippines. Photographs documenting airborne training exercises therefore provide important evidence of the preparatory phase that preceded combat deployment of these units. Album pages remain unbound with photographs mounted to paper leaves. Minor edge wear and light handling marks visible on several prints; overall very good condition. The album preserves detailed visual documentation of American airborne training procedures during the Second World War. unknown‎

‎African American Quartermaster Troops in World War II Panoramic Unit Photograph of the 663rd 1940s‎

‎1942. Panoramic photograph 1940s depicting an African American Quartermaster Corps unit during World War II with direct relevance to the study of segregated military organization logistical operations and the role of Black service troops in the war effort. The image shows three rows of Black soldiers in uniform assembled on a field with five white officers positioned in front reflecting the racial hierarchy characteristic of the U.S. Army during the period. A soldier at center holds a unit flag bearing an eagle insignia and the number "663" identifying the formation as part of a Quartermaster unit responsible for supply provisioning and support functions. During World War II the majority of African American soldiers were assigned to service branches rather than combat divisions and Quartermaster units played a central role in sustaining operations across multiple theaters. The photograph documents both the scale of military organization and the structural limitations placed on Black troops within the wartime army.<br /> <br /> Panoramic sepia photograph measuring approximately 8 x 16 inches showing the assembled unit in formation on a grassy field with additional soldiers visible in the background engaged in training or awaiting assembly. The composition emphasizes uniformed ranks command structure and the presence of the unit flag providing visual identification and context for the group.<br /> <br /> Photograph with creasing pinholes and tears consistent with handling; image remains clear; overall fair condition. A large-format visual record of African American service personnel in a logistical unit central to the operation of the U.S. Army during World War II. unknown‎
