Submarine! The Story of Undersea Fighters - Paperback

by Kendall Banning (Author), Charles Rosner (Illustrator)

Submarine! (first published during World War II, in 1942) is presented in clear, concise information of undersea craft and their crews. Any information desired, from the story of the development of the submarine, to the training of submarine crews, is in it.

Kendall Banning very capably and non-technically tells all that can be told about undersea fighters. Building from descriptions of the very earliest submarines, he takes his reader from chapter to chapter, explaining construction, apparatus, selections of submarines, rescue ships and chambers, and innumerable other phases of 'pigboats'. The author was assisted by the U.S. naval department as well as commanders of American submarine training schools. Illustrations by Charles Rosner add to a topnotch book for grownups as well as inquisitive youngsters.
