Zoomies, Subs and Zeros: Heroic Rescues in World War II by the Submarine Lifeguard League

By Hans C. Adamson, Charles A. Lockwood, Vice Adm. Charles & Adamson. Lockwood, et al.

Book Overview

Zoomies, Subs and Zeros, first published in 1956, recounts the true-life adventures of the World War II Submarine Rescue League; the story of US Navy submarines in their role as rescuers of downed American pilots in the Pacific. The work of these brave captains and his crews saved hundreds of lives, often at great risk to themselves, and represents a little known chapter in the war against Japan. Author Vice-Admiral Charles Lockwood (1890-1967) was the legendary commander of the US submarine fleet in the Pacific; Hans Christian Adamson (1890-1968), retiring as an Air Force Colonel, authored a number of books, and was a survivor, along with Eddie Rickenbacker, of 24 days adrift at sea in a small lifeboat. Illustrated with photographs.
