“THROUGH HELL And DEEP WATER” - By Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, Jr. USN (Ret.) and Colonel Hans Christian Adamson, USAF (Ret.). From the authors of "HellCats Of The Sea"––this is the definitive work on the famed American Submarine USS Harder (SS-257). Harder’s only skipper was Commander ‘Sam’ Dealey of Dallas, Texas.

For his amazing achievements Dealey was decorated with four Navy Crosses. In August 1944 Harder was lost with all hands––Commander Dealey was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. First 1956 Hardback edition, sorry NO Dust Jacket (see photo). 317 pages, with 22 historic B/W photos. A large Pacific map inside front and back covers.

Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, Jr. USN (Ret.): Born in 1890, Lockwood graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1912. In 1914, he entered the submarine service and spent most of 39 years in submersibles. As a Three-Star Vice Admiral, Lockwood was Commander Submarines, Pacific (ComSubPac) in World War II. He has written the story of our Pacific submarine operations in his widely read "Sink 'Em All." He coauthors several other books with Col Hans Christian Adamson, USAF (Ret.), including "Hellcats of the Sea" and "Zoomies, Subs and Zeros."
Colonel Hans Christian Adamson, USAF, (Ret.): Like his coauthor, Charles Lockwood, Col Hans Adamson was also born in 1890. In 1942, Adamson was on a flight over the Pacific in a B-17 Flying Fortress. Off course and running low on fuel the 4-engine bomber was forced to ditch in the sea. Among the crew was famed World War I fighter ace, 52 year old Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and six others. The men drifted on rubber rafts for 23 days before being rescued. As Chief of the USAF Personnel Narrative Office, Colonel Adamson directed the collection and writing of all the human interest history of the Army Air Force in all theatres of war––frequently under most hazardous conditions. He coauthors several other books with Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, USN (Ret.), including "Through Hell And Deep Water" and "Hell At 50 Fathoms."
