http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54961631

This collection contains materials gathered by Lloyd Graybar while researching his article "American Pacific Strategy After Pearl Harbor: The Relief of Wake Island." The article studies the aborted effort to relieve Wake Island in December 1941 during the two weeks following the attack on Pearl Harbor, and appeared in the Fall 1980 issue of the National Archives' publication, Prologue. A significant portion of the collection consists of letters from Navy veterans in response to Graybar's questionnaire about the mission of Task Force 14, which was assigned to relieve the Wake Island garrison. Also included are personal correspondence from naval officers present at the incident, copies of news articles and other publications relating to the Wake Island relief, and information on U.S. Navy ships involved in the effort.
