A propos de cet article

States "First Published 1953 / Reprinted 1953 (twice)." Inscribed "For Ring Bailey with best regards --" and signed "Edward L. Beach" to the title page. Jacket flap not clipped; original price of "15s Net" still showing. Loring MacKenzie Bailey (1914-2010) attended Laurel Institute, a division of MIT, and joined Electric Boat in Groton in 1940 as a ship design planner, retiring in 1979 as procurement engineer for the Trident programs. His only child, Loring (Ring) M. Bailey, Jr., Specialist 4th class in the U.S. Army, who graduated the Pomfret School and Trinity College, died in Vietnam in 1970 at the age of 25. A play was written and performed at the Pomfret School about Ring Bailey, based on his 250 pages of letters home. Filmmaker Soren Sorenson reports he was inspired to make his documentary "My Father's Vietnam" by his childhood visits to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C., where he saw his father make pencil rubbings of two names -- Glen Rickert, and Loring "Ring" Bailey, Jr. Ring's father, Loring Sr., and his wife Dorothy moved to the StoneRidge Retirement Community in 2005 after 60 years in their home on Pequot Trail. We purchased this book in Niantic, Conn. in 2013. Presumably it sat in the house on Pequot Trail for some 52 years. The author of this non-fiction history of submarine warfare, Edward L. Beach, graduated first is his class at the Submarine Training School, New London Submarine Base -- where he may well have met Loring Bailey, Sr. -- in December, 1941. He is best known for his 1955 novel "Run Silent, Run Deep." As exec of the submarine USS Tirante, he won the Navy Cross for heroism for the sub's daring attack on a heavily defended Japanese harbor in the spring of 1945. His captain, George L. Street, was awarded the Medal of Honor. 274 pp. This inscribed book now reduced from $210. …
