Copyright 1945, the final year of World War II. "Introduction to the Hawaiian Language is the result of painstaking research covering several years. It presents in handy volume size an English-Hawaiian as well as a Hawaiian-English vocabulary. With world attention focused on the Hawaiian Islands, this book will be of great value to all who wish to know more about the life, culture and language of the Hawaiian people." Grammatical notes: pages [11]-29. Apparently first printed in 1943, this is an early printing with 1945 copyright with no other edition or date notices. Given the massive number of Americans transiting Hawaii during World War II, this vocabulary must have been quite useful for those stationed there.
