..the Gazette and Leatherneck are sort of under one head..so the above
office should be able to direct you to both publications and any
possible reference library.
I know several Marines that did save copies..but not to the extent
that they could be called "references".

Ted,
Just received and read a great book on the Korean War, specifically
about Dog 7, 1stMARDIV. It is titled "Triumph on 1240" by
Col. R.D. Humphreys,
USMC(ret).
I believe this to be one of the very best books on the Korean War and
certainly should be in your bookseller area with the Amazon list you
maintain.
You can contact Col. Humpreys at colrdh@mtn-state.com

I am putting together my third book in the Real Heroes series entitled
Marine Airpower. While the large portion of it features my photos of
current USMC aircraft/people I am trying to include some histories of
the various Marine squadrons from WWII to present. The squadron
histories are pretty light on details. Is there a central location
where in-depth squadron histories can be found? Any info will be
greatly appreciated.
All the best in your efforts.
