Edward Helm : January 21, 1943
Lt. Edward Martin Helm in World War II: Wartime Diary, December 1942 - October 1943 (North Africa)
We arrived at North Island on Jan. 21, and quickly took our rightful place above the sailors. The base was an immense one, in fact, so large that we had to have a jeep to go from the mess-hall and barracks to the flight line. The sailors had that typical naval attitude toward us; the marines weren't so bad. In fact the only salute I received was from a sailor was given when I had an armful of equipment. "That's one I owe you.'
