Naval Institute Press:, 1988. 585pages, illustrated, with an Introduction by Paul Stillwell, Foreword by Admiral Arthur W. Ranford."The Big E is the heroic saga of the greatest, and best-loved fighting ship in history. Seven times during World War II the Japanese claimed to have sent this veteran carrier to the bottom-she escaped destruction so narrowly and so often that she was known in the fleet as the 'Galloping Ghost'. The Big E was largely responsible for turning the tide at Midway; she supported and defended the Marines on Guadalcanal, took part in the first attacks on the dreaded Japanese fortress of Truck, and more. She was officially credited with downing 911 enemy planes, sinking 71 ships and damaging almost 200 others." FINE- HARDCOVER.. Hardcover. Fine-/No Dust Jacket Present.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
