“The MEN Of The GAMBIER BAY” - By Edwin P. Hoyt. Introduction by Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, USN (Ret.). From the author of "The Battle of Leyte Gulf." The escort carrier USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73) departed Pearl Harbor and went into action in September 1944––she never returned home. Gambier Bay was eventually lost at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October. The gallant little CVE became the only American carrier to be sunk by enemy surface ships during World War II when she became a causality of the battle off Samar. A difficult book to find! 1979 first edition Hardback––sorry NO dust jacket. 254 pages, 52 black and white photos with several maps and an index. A large map inside front and back covers detailing Gambier Bay routes in the Pacific.
