Book Synopsis:
During World War II Navy airships escorted over 89,000 merchant ships. Not one of these vessels was sunk or damaged by a German U-boat. Airships flew under all weather conditions. They were dependable and effective in anti-submarine wartime operations. After the war Navy airships flew air-sea rescue, hunter-killer operations from aircraft carriers, and early warning missions with great success until June 1962 when the Navy's lighter-than-air activities were terminated. Wasn't I the Lucky One with 45 photographs presents a first hand, on-the-scene, account of this period by the author, a former Navy combat airship commander.
