Bright, crisp copy of the first and by far the scarcest of all the contemporary accounts of Walker's exploits (his groups sank 23 U-boats in total). Well illustrated with photographs (some less usual). Wemyss commanded WILD GOOSE; this account forms the basis of his later 'Relentless Pursuit' (1955). SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
