First Fleet, first published in 1944, is a fast-paced account of the important role played by the U.S. Coast Guard during the Second World War (with background chapters on the early history and peacetime activities of the Coast Guard). Featuring numerous interviews with servicemen in the U.S., Pacific, Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Greenland, First Fleet provides an insider’s look at the unsung heroes and vital work performed by the Coast Guard, not only in the United States, but in every war-time theater of operation. Activities described include ocean- and shore-patrols, U-boat hunting, transport of U.S. Marines in the Pacific, rescue work and the development of better lifeboats, fire-fighting, and the Public Health Service. First Fleet, one of only a handful of books on the Coast Guard in World War II, is a classic account of bravery and courage under difficult conditions. Included are 23 pages of illustrations. Less
