2291. Thompson, Lawrance. THE NAVY HUNTS THE CGR-3070.
2291. Thompson, Lawrance. THE NAVY HUNTS THE CGR-3070. Garden City. 1944 First printing. 150 p. B&w photographs. Detailed account of the U.S. Navy’s search for the missing Coastal Picket vessel Zaida and her crew of nine enlisted men. The Zaida was a private 58-foot yacht owned by George Ratsey before the U-boat crisis off the Atlantic coast of the United States during World War II. Zaida was converted to Coast Guard Reserve Boat 3070, and was on anti- submarine duty in the Eastern Sea Frontier in 1942 when she was blown far out to sea. Quite interesting. Dark blue cloth over boards with blue stamped spine lettering. Mild browning to text block edges and endpapers, otherwise clean and tight, nice copy. (VG). $28.
