A propos de cet article

Tales From A Tin Can is a beginning-to-end eyewitness account of World War II in the Pacific. Tales From A Tin Can consists of 424 stories from 44 of the officers and crew who served aboard the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Dale from 1941 to 1945. Their colorful from-the-deck stories include the major naval campaigns that earnedDale 12 Battle Stars as she steamed from the homeports of the Pacific Coast, to the tropical outposts of the South Pacific, through the glutinous fogs and williwaw winds of the Bering Sea into the killer typhoons of the South China Sea. The stories include: escaping Pearl Harbor while under Japanese attack on 7 December, 1941; participating in carrier raids on Japanese bases throughout the Western Pacific; supporting carrier battles at Coral Sea and Midway; escaping the torpedoes, aerial attacks and naval gun fire at, and around, Guadalcanal's "Iron Bottom Sound"; invading Attu and Kiska in the Aleutians; fighting the Battle of the Komandorski Islands - said to be the longest gun-fight in modern naval history; invading the Gilbert, Marshall, Caroline and Philippines Islands; providing fire support for U.S. Marines on Iwo Jima; surviving swarms of kamikazes at Okinawa. The Dale's tin can sailors also provide personal insights into what the young men from America's heartland experienced as they sailed through World War Two in thePacific. The stories include: modeling for James Michener's Tales from the South Pacific at Espiritu Santo; transitioning from pollywog to shellback as Dale crossed back and forth across the equator; discovering women in the thick fog of the Bering Sea; threatening Dale's Captain with a game of cops and robbers; organizing a real life ice-cream mutiny; hanging on during a South China Sea typhoon; and many, many more stories of their sailor life at sea. The stories told by the tin can sailors of the USS Dale will bring the boys of theGreatest Generation to life for you.…
