Cruise books are created for private distribution. They are not official Navy publications, and the Navy does not stock, sell, or republish these books. This can make copies of some books, especially older volumes, extremely rare.
In January 1985, the Flying Tigers took part in a goodwill operation, Operation Handclasp, while at Cubi Point. There they transported 3,600 pounds of books for needy children to Manila International Airport and 13,000 pounds of material to a Philippines leper colony.
