Tarawa Talk

To close this out, I did wind up getting these from the National Museum of the Marine Corps Archives

EDIT: Not the Makin documents

Hi,

Been a while since I've checked here. By 'Folder 3' do you mean in an actual folder at the Archives of the Marine Corps? I have unfortunately not been to any Archives in person. But I have requested access to some of them recently. I may be able to plan a trip to Quantico in the future.

Does anyone know if the following JICPOA documents are available online somewhere? Or do I need to make a trip to College Park, MD?

"Study of Japanese Defenses of Betio Island (Tarawa Atoll). Part III: Base Installations." January 1944.
