Paperback. Zustand: Good. 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. Olson, Marlene (illustrator).…

Olson's Tales from a Tin Can: The U.S.S. Dale from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay, is an homage to his father, Robert "Pat" Olson, who served on the U.S.S. Dale for three years following the attack on Pearl Harbor. In researching the project, Olson intertwined material gleaned from a series of oral histories produced by crew members with information from the ship's log and other data he considered likely to give readers an accurate historical perspective. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly called Olson's effort "an impressive accomplishment, bringing vividly to life the actions of a single warship that fought across half the world." Booklist contributor Roland Green considered the book "a sound addition to World War II naval literature." When asked what first got him interested in writing, Olson told CA: "The desire to entertain and inform, which I saw, at a very early age, as a way of earning one's way in the world." Olson cited authors Ernest Hemingway and Robert A. Heinlein, NBC, and "all things ancient China," as influences on his work. He described his writing process as "The War of the Worlds: three a.m. to seven a.m." What was life like on a destroyer during World War II? Find out by reading Michael Keith Olson's superb telling of tales of the war in the Pacific as seen from the deck of a very lucky tin can . The son of a former Dale crewman, Olson interviewed 44 veterans and delved deeply into official documents to give this book the air of authenticity that puts the reader in the heart of the action. Tales from a Tin Can is the first oral history of one combat ship's adventures, sometimes comic, sometimes mundane, sometimes heart wrenching, over the entire course of America's involvement in the Pacific. An impressive accomplishment and highly recommended. This fascinating book captures not only the furious clashes with the Japanese but also the humdrum days in-between and the heart-stopping encounters with typhoons that could be as lethal as any engagement with the enemy. Anyone interested in stories from World War II will find this well-illustrated account of the naval campaign in the Pacific fascinating. Looking up from his newspaper from where he sat on the deck of the destroyer USS Dale, Harold Reichert could see the pilot plain as day--the leather helmet with chin strap, the goggles, and then the red rising sun painted on the planes fuselage. "I saw the torpedo drop and watched as it ran up on the old Utah." It was daybreak at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the beginning of the war, and the Dale was there; she would serve until the end, when the atomic bombs were dropped and Japan surrendered. In the words of those who manned her, the Dale's war comes vividly to life in this first oral history of a combat ship from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay. From carrier raids on Midway, Guadalcanal, and the Solomons to the bombarding of Saipan and Guam in the capture of the Marianas, from the Aleutians in the far north to strikes on Tokyo and Kobe, Tales from a Tin Can recreates the action aboard the Dale, and conveys as never before the true grit of wartime on a destroyer.
