WANTED: A LEFT JAB. Scrappy Air Forces boxers 

 battle it out in the humid night air at Kwajalein. 

 Mid-summer boxing matches in the Marshalls are 

 not recommended for those who wish to keep a 

 crisp and cool appearance. Boxing matches afloat 

 and ashore were a popular form of entertainment. 



On the carrier "Saidor" the airplane elevator, 

 raised to a level three feet above the main hangar 

 deck, served as an improvised ring. The AV-14 

 "Kenneth Whiting" held inter-ship bouts on the 

 seaplane deck. Devotees of the Golden Gloves 

 tournaments were not disappointed.
