"The SILENT SERVICE" - By William C. Chambliss. The author is a World War II Navy veteran and
was aboard the carrier USS Wasp (CV-7) when she was sunk by a Japanese submarine in 1942. Based on
the popular television series "The Silent Service" of the 1950s, Chambliss does an excellent job telling the
true stories of American submarines in World War II. Six hard-hitting chapters on the submarines; Perch
(SS-176), Thresher (SS-200), Sculpin (SS-191), Harder (SS-257), Bergall (SS-320), and Seahorse (SS-304).
Never published in hardback, this is a 1959 first edition Paperback. 158 pages, 7 B/W photos and 3
diagrams, a glossary but no index. Long out of print and becoming very difficult to fined!
Good Cond. ---- $24.95
