Best.-Nr. 18213Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. THE STORY OF THE NAVY AIRCREWS WHO FLEW INTO TYPHOONS TO SAVE LIVES AT SEA. Prepared by United States Navy Meteorological Squadron One Metron One Ta Feng documents the extraordinary wartime mission of gathering weather intelligence over the western Pacific. Through photographs and narrative the booklet records the squadron's hazardous reconnaissance flights into tropical storms and typhoons providing forecasts essential to naval and air operations during the closing stages of World War II and the immediate postwar occupation. Weather as a Weapon. Named for the Chinese term "Ta Feng" "Great Wind" or "Typhoon" the publication illustrates the vital role of meteorology in Pacific operations. Beyond forecasting the squadron's work protected fleets aircraft and shipping by tracking the movement and intensity of storms across one of the world's most dangerous weather regions.
