The diary of Frank Milam, who served aboard the fourth USS Yorktown, was written from late 1944-1945. He served as an electrician’s mate, rated as an EM3. Since American soldiers and sailors were prohibited from keeping personal diaries during World War II, the entries were written into a small government-issued notebook. The diary is handwritten, and key names and terms have been OCR'd, but it has not been fully transcribed.
