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. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Yellow illustrated stapled wrappers printed in Japanese and English. Oblong format; 8.5 by 5.5 inches. Thirty-six unnumbered pages with illustrated endpapers. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs documenting personnel aircraft operations and life within the squadron. CONDITION: Very Good. Carefully handled with light wear to the wrappers and an early ownership name. Interior clean and well preserved. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Forecasting Victory Weather intelligence became an indispensable component of Allied operations in the Pacific. Meteorological squadrons provided the forecasts that determined fleet movements carrier operations amphibious landings and long-range air missions. Publications such as Ta Feng document a highly specialized service whose contribution was largely invisible but strategically essential. An Uncommon Record of Naval Meteorology. Unlike conventional naval cruise books devoted to ships or combat units Ta Feng chronicles one of the Navy's specialized scientific organizations. Its combination of operational history squadron photography and bilingual presentation makes it an important document of naval aviation military meteorology and the transition from wartime operations to the occupation of Japan.
