Conter, Louis, Annette Hull, and Warren HullTHE LOU CONTER STORY: From USS Arizona Survivor to Unsung American Hero Tells the story of one of the survivors of the USS Arizona. More than just a recollection of the events that transpired in Pearl Harbor, also records the author's memorable experiences before and after the Day of Infamy. Conter was on the USS Arizona deck when a Japanese armor-piercing bomb hit one million pounds of gunpowder stored in the ship's hull. He helped rescue crewmen following the explosion and dove into the wreckage to recover bodies in the days after. Went to flight school where he earned his wings and became a VP-11 Black Cat pilot. After World War II, he became an intelligence officer, flew combat in Korea, created the Navy's first SERE program (survival, evasion, resistance, and escape), and served as a military advisor to presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson.1 vol, 239 pgs 2021 US, WHEATMARK INC NEW-pb, available early June 2026 ......$20.00 rct ..see our WWII
