VMF 213 Flight Surgeon's Records
​& The Hell Hawk Poems

VMF  213 Flight Surgeon's Records is a collection William Cook Livingood's records and documents, as Flight Surgeon, of the squadron's combat tours in 1943 and incudes some pre-combat tour materials. They include the Flight Surgeon's logs, containing both squadron and pilot daily activity, pilot medical record, including those relating to accidents, injuries sustained in combat, and diseases, and operational records, including pilot flight records, Japanese planes shot down, and both physical and mental status.  Additionally, the records include an End of Combat Tour Report and a February 1943 Squadron Roster of both assigned Officers and Enlisted.  The Hell Hawk Poems, collected by William Cook Livingood, Sr., and published in a book by the same name, have been included in this book as a Part 2 because they are on occasion referenced in the Introduction and in the edited comments to the Flight Surgeon's Log; also, the poems, most generated by those fighting in the South Pacific, provide an excellent context for the activity and incidents captured in the Flight Surgeon's Records.

​VMF 213 Flight Surgeon's Records ​& The Hell Hawk Poems is available in Hardcover, Paperback, and ebook.
