First published in the US in the previous year with the title 'Twenty Million Tons under the Sea'. The author was head of the US task force that captured U-505 off the coast of Africa, the only U-boat to be boarded and captured at sea. U-505 is now housed at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The UK edition is elusive in anything like this condition. Enser, p. 429; Law 1602
