Description
A family memoir from Paul Gill from USA who sailed in the Arctic convoys during the Second World War.
"The enemy planes were flying just a few feet over the surface of the water on our starboard bow, towards the head of the convoy. I started to count them: 1, 2...13, 14…“Damn it! Look at them!” I yelled."
"The general alarm sounded for submarine attack and all hands rushed to their stations with their helmets and life jackets, prepared for action."
