Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. One of the earliest Fighting Forces Series books, produced in 1943 at the height of trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific troop movements, What To Do Aboard the Transport serves as a practical, entertaining, and lightly instructional guide for soldiers confined to transport ships. Written by "a group of scientists," it blends simple scientific demonstrations, shipboard observations, and morale-boosting activities into a compact booklet meant to turn idle time into curiosity and learning. What the book covers: 1. Shipboard science activities ? Easy experiments using common materials to explain buoyancy, waves, pressure, and navigation. 2. Understanding the ocean environment ? Basic oceanography, currents, tides, and what soldiers can observe from deck. 3. How transport ships work ? Simplified explanations of propulsion, stability, and why large vessels behave the way they do at sea. 4. Practical observation skills ? Encouraging troops to notice weather patterns, star positions, and ship behavior. 5. Morale and mental engagement ? Turning long, monotonous voyages into opportunities for learning and distraction. 6. Safety-minded awareness ? Gentle reminders about shipboard conduct, space management, and respecting crew operations. Tone and purpose: Educational but light ? Written to be accessible to every enlisted man, regardless of background. Morale-supportive ? Keeps minds occupied during long, cramped voyages. Scientific curiosity ? Encourages observation and simple experimentation rather than passive waiting. THIS book has some heavy cover/spine damage but it did its job of protecting the pages.
