About the author
James M. Yingling (1922–2013) served as a major in the U.S. Marines and later wrote military history based on that experience. He is associated with works including A Brief History of the 5th Marines and U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950–1953, Volume 5: Operations in West Korea.
Project Gutenberg notes that he researched and wrote chapters 1–6 of U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950–1953, Volume 5, while Lieutenant Colonel Pat Meid wrote later chapters and completed the final editing. The book focuses on the 1st Marine Division in West Korea during the closing phase of the war, and Yingling’s contribution stands out for its clear, documentary approach.
For listeners interested in first-hand military history, his writing is especially appealing because it combines an insider’s perspective with careful historical detail. Even in a compact body of work, he helped preserve an important record of Marine Corps service in Korea.
