Seabee History WWII

This was also sent to me by Thurman.

 

The following are words taken from the following site:

"Mike Baldwin is lucky, as was I. He was the offspring of, and had the mentoring of what has come to be called the "Greatest Generation", the WWII generation. His father Jack, his uncle Ray, and one of his cousins, Colon Brown, all served in the 53rd NCB, the Seabees. Mike has sent me all of the literature below, and some of the pictures, depicting equipment of their time and how it was used by the Seabees in WWII. Mike is sharing this information for others to use and to learn. In Mike's own words: "I'd like to dedicate them in Honor and Memory of all Seabees, Marine Engineers and Army Engineers that served in WWII."

 

It contains many images of machinery used by the engineers. Pretty cool!
