Re: The Squalus accident in 1939

Hello All:

"The Rescuer: The Extraordinary Life of the Navy's "Swede" Momsen and his role in an
epic submarine disaster" by Peter Maas (CC 1967) is the most interesting account
ever published about that disaster.

In 1999, Peter Maas published a "scaled-down" version titled "The Terrible Hours: The man behind the greatest submarine rescue in history" It lacked photos and sketches that were in "The Rescuer" but it sold many copies.

I believe both books are still available at amazon.com

And have a nice day,

ROBERT M.
