"HUNTER KILLER” U.S. Navy Escort Carriers in Gallant Battle Against the Nazi U-Boat Menace. - By William T. Y’Blood. From the author of “The Little Giants” and "Red Sun Setting” comes another great book dealing with American Escort Carriers in World War II. Based on recently declassified material and scores of interviews with combat participants, "Hunter Killer" takes the reader onto the carrier flight deck and into the fighter cockpit during the longest continuing engagement of World War II––the Battle of the Atlantic. From the breaking of the German code to the sinking of the "jeep" carrier USS Block Island (CVE-21). From in-close anti-submarine encounters to the secret capture of the U-boat U-505 by the USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60), "Hunter Killer" is a stirring account of how U.S. "jeep" carriers mercilessly hammered the German wolf-packs into submission. An excellent book, covering the true saga of American CVE’s and their destroyer escorts (DD’s and DE’s) in the Atlantic. 1992 Bantam Paperback edition. 339 pages, with maps, drawings, illustrations and an index, but no photos.
