A Readable Collection of First-Hand Accounts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is an easily read collection of first hand remembrances of the loss of the first carrier Lexington, CV2. The author has gathered a large number of accounts from both crew members of the Lexington and from those on the escorting vessels. The book is divided into two parts - the first focusing on the attack on the carrier when there was hope she would survive and the second focusing on the events leading to her loss. An enjoyable book that gives an insight into what it was like to serve on a carrier in the early days of WWII.
