Ebook About Based on a true story—P. T. Deutermann's Trial by Fire is a dramatic WWII novel of attack, survival, and triumph on board an aircraft carrier in the Pacific.It's March 1945 and the war in the Pacific is approaching its apocalyptic climax. The largest wartime armada ever assembled, Task Force 58, is closing in on Okinawa; once taken, it will finally put American B-29 bombers in comfortable range of the home islands of Japan—and victory.At the heart of the fleet are 14 Essex-class aircraft carriers, including the USS Franklin, known as "Big Ben"—a 27,000-ton behemoth, home to 3,600 crewmen and 100 aircraft. Just after dawn, while crewmen prepare for battle, a single Japanese Yokosuka D4Y bomber breaks through the clouds and drops a 500-pound semi-armor piercing bomb on Big Ben. The bomb rips through the wooden flight deck before exploding on the hangar deck, amidst two dozen fully fueled and armed fighter-bombers. The resulting explosion engulfs both the hangar deck and all the planes spotted on the flight deck. Bombs cook off and rockets howl in all directions, both on the flight deck and down in the hangar bays. Hundreds of men are forced to leap into the sea to escape the rivers of burning aviation gasoline, leaving the captain with only one third of his crew, of whom there are more dead, wounded and trapped men left onboard than able-bodied sailors.Trial By Fire is the gripping novelization of how, against all odds, the sailors of the Franklin were able to save their ship, after 3 agonizing days of battling the flames that ultimately claimed the lives of 832 men and injured 300 more. Readers will be astounded and humbled by the heroic actions of a few extraordinarily brave sailors in the face of unending catastrophe.Book Trial by Fire: A Novel (P. T. Deutermann WWII Novels) Review :
This novel consists to a degree of at least 90%, of incomprehensible details about a world war two aircraft carrier's power, ventilation, and other systems. The plot is simple: a Kamikaze hits the USS Franklin and for the rest of the novel the author inflicts upon the reader chapter after chapter (not just page after page) of incomprehensible details of the crew and officers trying to conduct damage control. Deutermann's last two novels have been about Kamikazes in world war two, and if they had been as bad as he writes, the Japanese would have been landing in Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1945. But I digress.This could have been a readable novel, but alas it is not. Slight character development and plot (centered upon the not-very-competent captain and his conflict with his XO) is submerged by mounds of sludgy detail of an incomprehensible nature concerning the ship's systems. Entire chapters of this should have been a few sentences. I am guessing the novel is accurate about these things, but the reader will never know, and what's worse, never care.I will give Deutermann credit for one thing. Usually he has an obsession with short guys. (Some short guy must have given the author a poor officer's fitness report at some point. Deutermann hates short guys.) In this novel the captain is six foot three inches tall and is clearly the bad guy of the novel, along with the Japanese Kamikazes. So Deutermann is evidently breaking out of his "I hate short guys" mold. Unfortunately, that does not save this novel.Deutermann can write a good novel about World War Two. Unfortunately, here he did not succeed. RJB. I read a lot of naval stories both fiction and history (there's some overlap, as students of the subject may know.)This book's detailed descriptionn of a great ship and all that is required to operate, destroy and ultimately, save, it are spot on.A relative of mine was a veteran of the Japanese BB action at Leyte Gulf and described what he saw when I was 7 or 8 years old. Seemed a good story but I had no knowledge of where or when. About five years later I read an account of the battle and recognized the action he described as an historical event. That was my introduction to history as something lived, not just reported.This book gives me the same feeling about Big Ben and the people aboard her. Read Online Trial by Fire: A Novel (P. T.
