    INSCRIBED by Rear Admiral Fluckey on half-title page. "Under the leadership of her fearless skipper, Captain Gene Fluckey, the Barb sank the greatest tonnage of any American sub in World War II. At the same time, the Barb did far more than merely sink ships - she changed forever the way submarines stalk and kill their prey. ... Instead of lying in wait under the waves, the USS Barb pursued enemy ships on the surface, attacking in the swift and precise style of torpedo boats. She was the first sub to use rocket missiles and to creep up on enemy convoys at night, joining the flank escort line from astern, darting in and out as she sank ships up the column. ... Thunder Below! is a first-rate, true-life, inspirational story of the courage and heroism of ordinary men under fire." Three photo-copied advertising sheets laid in. Inscribed First Edition, Third Printing in Dust Jacket of this winner of the Samuel Eliot Morison Price for Best Naval Literature in 1993.
