Description: This second volume addresses material of which I had no knowledge when compiling the first volume, namely: Duncan Elliott, jr.'s WWII service as senior aviator aboard U.S.S. Tuscaloosa in the Naval Battle of Casablanca.  It includes Deck Logs from the ship (lovingly and painstakingly transcribed by me!) and the ACTION REPORTS during the battle which are quoted by Samuel Eliot Morison in his "History of U.S. Naval Operations During WWII" Vol. 2.  Also included is information about Curtiss SOC Seagulls, called "catapult planes", used for reconnaisance and "spotting" during WWII.  Personal photos at the back
