The British Blunder That Lost 500 GI Lives — Tactical error? Sellout? Act of cowardice? There’s never been an explanation for this 24-ship half-a-billion-dollar tragedy

Also featuring Daytime: Miss Society, Nighttime: “Any Bed” Dolly — The blonde scandal that set the world on its heels and The Great Tramp Army That Held The Hills Of Cyclades — From deep in the Greek mountains they engaged the enemy, a wonderful, straw-hatted, tobacco-chewing, death-dealing hero brigade

Magazines in 1960 saved on printing costs by keeping full-color pages to a minimum, using mostly two-color images for illustrations. In this case, the publisher only wanted to pay for one full-color page for this two-page story spread, so Charles Copeland actually painted this image half color, half duotone.

Tomorrow They Die — Tonight They Love

From the back:

The Marines were set to hit the Japs at dawn. But now it was night and all over the island leathernecks were seeing their girls for the last time. So when Glenn Manson met Isabella on the beach he tried to file away in his mind every line and curve of her voluptuous body beneath the thin native dress.
She smiled a greeting. But when he touched her she ran off among the dunes. He felt then that nothing had changed. She was still toying with him —as she had done for weeks. It was all over but the shooting — at dawn! Suddenly, around a bend in the beach, he saw her waiting for him. Her dress made a shower of color around her feet…
