Sobre este artículo
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1965. Hardcover. Introduction by Herman Wouk. 8vo. Quarter grey cloth with blue lettering and blue paper over boards, pictorial dust jacket. 254pp. Near fine/very good. Jacket mildly edgeworn, with several archivally-closed (on verso) edge tears. Handsome, tight first edition of this humorous WW2 novel about Boatswain's Mate First Class Fatso Gioninni aboard the aircraft carrier "Okinawa" by this U.S. Navy rear admiral (1901-77) whose distinguished World War Two career included taking on U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic, in which he famously captured the German submarine U-505 on June 4, 1944; postwar he transitioned into writing nautical fiction and nonfiction. This sharp copy has been inscribed and signed by him large and bold in blue ink on front flyleaf: "Chicago / Feb 4, 65 / To: Harry / with best regards and / good wishes / Dan, / D.V. Gallery." A superb copy, rarely found signed.
