Very good. [6], viii, 139, [3] pages. Illustrations. Annexes-US Coast Defenses of World War II. Defense of the Delaware Searchlight Plan. Computing the "Flight Time" of an Artillery Projectile and December 1942: The German Attack on Wilmington. End Notes. References. Photo Credits. Index. Autographed Copy sticker on front cover. Signed by the author on title page. Bill Grayson is formally trained as a USAF Intelligence Officer. He served as Commander and as Operations Officer of Air Force Signals Intelligence, Counterintelligence, and Operational Security units throughout Europe and Vietnam and served three tours at the National Security Agency as a Cryptologic Staff Officer and as the Chief of Transmission Security, overseeing all DoD joint service programs. In support of Homeland Security, Bill supported Coast Guard Port Security studies on all three coasts and contributed to a White House plan for distributing intelligence among federal, state, local, and tribal jurisdictions. Right after Japan's Pearl Harbor sneak attack and Germany's declaration of war, America had no effective naval or air defenses against enemy warships and submarines closely prowling her shorelines. As Japan shelled California and Germany sunk ships off Atlantic beaches, invasion by bloodthirsty savages was anxiously feared. During those frightening days, the Coast Artillery manned the front lines. Focusing on the defense of Delaware Bay, Delaware's Ghost Towers describes the big guns, spotting towers, targeting processes, and service of soldiers responsible for protecting citizens and the American homeland. Profusely illustrated with photos, diagrams, and maps expressly drawn for the book.
