Robert La Du, "Her Finest Hour: Shipbuilding in the Portland Area during World War II"
English | ISBN: 1683488008 | 2017 | EPUB | 147 pages | 1,6 MB

This work describes the monumental accomplishments of the World War II shipyards in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. Working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, they built and launched thousands of vesselsLiberty ships, Victory ships, tankers, aircraft carriers, submarine chasers, and many kinds of landing craftto help defeat the Axis powers and preserve the way of life of the free world.

Robert La Du viewed firsthand these activities from his home overlooking shipyards on the Willamette River. His father worked at Albina shipyard, his sister worked at Henry Kaisers Swan Island shipyard, and he himself, as a high school student, worked nights at Commercial Iron and Steel shipyard. These experiences inform and enhance the pages of Her Finest Hour.
