At last, a DVD that pays tribute to the important role LSTs (Landing Ship Tank) and their crews played in winning the war in the Pacific. From the landings at New Guinea to the battle for Okinawa, LSTs were in the thick of it.
The 65-minute DVD contains rare, crystal-clear film footage not seen by the general public for over 60 years, documenting the landing at Wadke Island in New Guinea, the tragic LST fire at West Loch in Pearl Harbor, and the landings at Saipan, Lingayen Gulf and Okinawa. Also includes dramatic scenes of LST convoys enroute to Peleliu and Okinawa, as well as excellent footage of a burial at sea aboard an LST and raucous scenes of a King Neptune Ceremony aboard an LST.
Also shown are Chinese nationalist sailors training aboard an LST, and an LST transporting Japanese prisoners of war back to Japan.
Includes footage of dozens of LSTs, and of their crews working, fighting and playing at sea.
There's plenty of film footage of LSTs performing tasks that many today don't associate with this "large slow target," as she was known to her crews. For example, you'll see an LST refueling a submarine chaser on the open sea, surgery performed aboard an LST hospital ship, and a high-line transfer between an LST and LCM.
