- Scope and content:
This journal was written by Captain Alex Blair Jr. and details Blair's thoughts, insights, and actions throughout his service from 1942 to 1945. Blair and his crew, aboard the Prowler, went down over Sicily in April 1943 and were taken prisoners by the German army until his release in 1945. As a result, the journal contains few additions after April 11, 1943. However, it contains one concluding account on December 29, 1945, where Blair summarizes his treatment by the German army throughout his capture.
