2471e. Theiss, Lewis E., THE WIRELESS OPERATOR WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD. Boston . 1924. 313p. Color front wrap illustration of cutter in heavy seas. Relates the work of the Coast Guard and the roll of wireless and the operators through various chapters in this fictional account. In preparation for writing this account, the author spent weeks visiting with Coast Guardsmen and years pouring through official accounts. Accounts included are all based on actual incidents in the Coast Guard’s history. Good light reading, based on fact and in demand both due to its Coast Guard and its early wireless connection. I just re-read this and if you like early wireless or early Coast Guard, you will enjoy this light read. Extremely scarce ! Tight, wraps with some edge and corner wear but well intact. Front endpaper removed, ex lib. Contents light age toning. (VG-). $68.
