He served on active military duty with the U.S. Navy in World War II aboard amphibious ships in the Asia-Pacific Theater and in the Korean War with the Navy Seabees, retiring with the rank of Captain, Civil Engineer Corps, USNR.
Many of the locations where the novel's principal character, Dan Casey had numerous romantic escapades , were familiar to the author as a result of his own real life adventures experienced when he was on active military duty, and while working on engineering projects. The description of some of Dan's merchant marine studies and his shipboard military assignments in WW II reflect a high degree of authenticity based on the author's own experiences.lihat lebih sedikit
