Pacific Ocean Island Defenders WWII Men's Hawaiian Shirt – 100% Cotton, Made in USA

The Pacific theater of WWII was fundamentally a war of islands — of which ones to take, which ones to bypass, and which ones were worth the cost of taking them. From Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima to Okinawa, the island-hopping campaign moved American forces across 4,000 miles of ocean toward Japan over three and a half years, and at every step of that campaign, air power was decisive: the fighters and bombers that controlled the air over each island determined whether the ground troops below could hold what they'd taken. The Pacific Ocean Island Defenders shirt honors the pilots and aircraft of that campaign — the men who flew over coral atolls and jungle ridgelines to defend the islands that the strategy required. Made in the USA from 100% cotton by RJC since 1953.
