"A very polished and professional volume covering a major and relatively unheralded part of World War II...I'm sure you will receive widespread acclaim for providing the quality and quantity of naval history in PACIFIC EXPRESS."
--David H. Grover, CDR USNR (Ret), and author of "U.S. Army Ships and Watercraft of World War II"

"Bill McGee's account of amphibious operations in the Pacific and of the supply effort needed to support all operations there is meticulously researched and told with the skill of a born story teller. PACIFIC EXPRESS and the other volumes in the series will make a proud addition to anyone's library."
--Gordon Smith, Chairman of the Board, Amphibious Forces Memorial Museum

"Besides providing statistics, you've provided a personal touch with interviews and references to persons who were actually there."
--Jim Higman, Merchant Marine Engineer (Ret) and editor of "California Central Coast U.S. Navy Armed Guard & Merchant Marine Vets WWII

"Bill McGee hits another home run with PACIFIC EXPRESS. My time served in the South Pacific in WWII springs to life as I hear the bow doors open and the ramp fall on Pacific soil...Reading this book brings back memories and tears to this eighty-plus year old LSM sailor."
--Royce N. McNeill, USS LSM-LSMR Association

"With PACIFIC EXPRESS, Bill McGee secures his title of 'godfather of amphibious operations history.' This Volume III in his series anchors Volumes I and II as essential reading and reference for military history."
--Joe Flynn, California Director and Member National Board, USS LCI National Association

"Although about WWII, much of what is written in PACIFIC EXPRESS applied when I served on the USS Helena (CA-75) during the Korean War and after. Bill McGee does a through job of explaining military logistics in ways we can understand."
--Dave Brouchoud, USS Helena (CA-75), Jan 1952-May 1955
