About This Item
Nedlands, University of Western Australia Press first edition - large format p/b stiff covers Arriving in early 1942, American servicemen were greeted by Western Australians as handsome heroes from a Hollywood dream-world, offering protection from invasion as the Japanese bombed the state's northern outposts. Over the next three years thousands of navel personnel in Perth and coastal ports continued to have an impact that was more intense and more welcome than it was in other parts of Australia. 230 x 155mm., pp. xiii, 296, b/w plates, notes, biblio., index. Large paperback, stiff card covers. FINE ISBN: 1875560742
