These include many of the LCVPs (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) designed by Andrew Jackson Higgins, whose “Higgins Boats” were used extensively in both the Pacific and European theaters. Created by the Office of Naval Intelligence, which produced an important series of recognition guides for officers and staff, ONI 226 contains numerous data tables, designation information, outboard drawings and photographs. From the “Torch” landings in North Africa to the Normandy invasion, Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima, landing craft proved vital to the success of the Allies.
