MARINE CORPS AVIATOR PHOTO POSTCARD WAS PART OF A GROUP OF PHOTO POSTCARDS RELATED TO THE U. MARINE CORPS OCCUPATION OF HAITI OF 1915 THROUGH THE EYES OF U. MARINE CORPS AVIATION THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE LISTED. In the September 1915 occupation of Haiti 2,500 Marines. Initially led by Major Smedley D. Were equipped with airplanes, cars and trucks. Five airfields were constructed and at least three airplanes were present in Haiti at the time. They helped innovate the tactics employed during World War I but were not well suited to the Haiti intervention and later occupation. The Marines withdrew from Haiti, including aviation, in 1934.
