Item description from seller

One of the earliest Fighting Forces Series books, produced in 1943 at the height of trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific troop movements, What To Do Aboard the Transport serves as a practical, entertaining, and lightly instructional guide for soldiers confined to transport ships. Written by “a group of scientists,” it blends simple scientific demonstrations, shipboard observations, and morale-boosting activities into a compact booklet meant to turn idle time into curiosity and learning. What the book covers: 1. Shipboard science activities — Easy experiments using common materials to explain buoyancy, waves, pressure, and navigation. 2. Understanding the ocean environment — Basic oceanography, currents, tides, and what soldiers can observe from deck. 3. How transport ships work — Simplified explanations of propulsion, stability, and why large vessels behave the way they do at sea. 4. Practical observation skills — Encouraging troops to notice weather patterns, star positions, and ship behavior. 5. Morale and mental engagement — Turning long, monotonous voyages into opportunities for learning and distraction. 6. Safety-minded awareness — Gentle reminders about shipboard conduct, space management, and respecting crew operations. Tone and purpose: Educational but light — Written to be accessible to every enlisted man, regardless of background. Morale-supportive — Keeps minds occupied during long, cramped voyages. Scientific curiosity — Encourages observation and simple experimentation rather than passive waiting. THIS book has some heavy cover/spine damage but it did its job of protecting the pages. The back cover and last 20 pages or so have been lightly creased down the center, but readability has not been impacted. Paperback edition. 268 pages. Dimensions: 4.25" by 7". Published by The Infantry Journal, Washington, D.C. 1st printing, 1943. B&W illustrations. Multi-Color binding. Cover defect(s): Some creasing/wrinkling. Some spine cover damage. Page defect(s): Light foxing. 0.5 Pound Media Shipping Rate with Multiple Product Orders. (Min Shipping Rate 1 Pound per Order). Order More and SAVE!
