The Osprey and the Sea Wolf ~ The Battle of the Atlantic 1942

I wish to thank WWII Forum members for helpful tips, links and advice as I researched my historical fiction novel over the past few years. My now-published book The Osprey and the Sea Wolf ~ The Battle of the Atlantic 1942 is told from the points of view of two protagonists: Rainer, a German U-Boat captain (modeled after Reinhard Hardegen who just died at age 105) and Ramón, a young Mexican-American B-25 pilot.

In 1942 German U-Boats sent over 300 ships and 5000 seamen to the bottom of the ocean off the coast of North America. In the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, a seasoned U-boat commander and a young Mexican-American B-25 pilot engage in a deadly dance of war at sea and struggle with issues of love, honor, betrayal and racism on the home front.

 

Best of luck, fellow author.

 

Thanks ColHessler! What have you written?
In 2012 I also published another book Enemy in the Mirror: Love and Fury in the Pacific War

Oh just a few since 2005.

 

Cool ColHessler. Quite a few indeed. I am beginning research for my next novel which will be about the Korean War. I ordered the Kindle version of your book Jarhead Tanker

 

We've had a number of, what I at least consider, very interesting discussions of Korea here. Some of them mention some decent references. Might be worth your time giving them a once over.

Good luck to both of you on your book sales.

 

Thanks lwd - I'll check them out. I am also following a couple of Facebook sites - Korean War Pics and Stories and Korean War Everything look pretty good so far.

 

Thank you Marko!

 

Please include the Aussies...

From 1950-53, 17,000 Australians in the Army, Navy and Air Force fought as part of the United Nations (UN) multinational force, defending South Korea from the Communist force of North Korea. After the war ended, Australians remained in Korea for four years as military observers.

 

The participation of quite a few countries in the Korean conflict is often forgotten or glossed over. Some of these smaller countries made some significant contributions, for instance I remember reading somewhere about the Turkish troops doing an excellent job
