Synopsis
In April 1944, the highly decorated submarine USS Gudgeon slipped beneath the waves in one of the most dangerous patrol areas in the most dangerous military service during World War II. Neither the Gudgeon nor the crew were ever seen again. Author Mike Ostlund's "Uncle Bill" was aboard the ship as a lieutenant junior grade. Through extensive research of patrol reports in U.S. and Japanese naval archives, interviews with veterans who had served abroad the Gudgeon before its final patrol, and the personal effects of the lost men's relatives, Ostlund has assembled the most accurate account yet of this remarkably successful submarine's exploits, of the men abroad, from steward to captain, and of what we know about her demise. Through these stories we experience the excitement of first sighting, then closing in on an enemy ship, and the seconds ticking away as the crew awaits the detonation of torpedoes. We hear the groans of collapsing bulkheads through the hull of the submarine, then the eerie cry of inch-thick steel as it is rent apart. The swish-swish-swish of a Japanese destroyer's attack approach. The thundercrack of exploding depth charges between muttered prayers and anguished, flinching anticipation where the crew, all equal in peril now, must sit absolutely still and take the punishment as they suppress the urge to do something, anything. We also share the anguish of the girls they left behind when they learned the ship was lost; and of the memories and life lessons of the young men who went to sea abroad Gudgeon before its last patrol knowing hardly anything, and coming home having seen too much.

- t***r (383)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoOrdered this to make a 6-foot from Mad Max Furiosa. Might still do that. In great shape for a older die cast Matchbox truck. Shipping was fast. Good price for a vintage Matchbox vehicle. Well packaged. Everything is like the seller described it. Excellent service from a great seller.
- r***r (100)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoGreat seller! The document holder was quickly shipped, very carefully and safely packaged, exactly as described and a terrific value for my ever shrinking budget! I am very satisfied, I didn’t think I could find a nice Pan Am holder other than the endless ‘faux alligator skin’ holders out there and then this one showed up. Would happily buy from again!
