520    "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. March 19, 1945: 
       The war in the Pacific approaches 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 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 3,500 
       crewmen and 100 aircraft. Just after dawn, while crewmen 
       prepare for battle, a single Japanese Yokosuka D4Y breaks 
       through the clouds and drops two 500-pound bombs on Big 
       Ben. The first rips through the flight deck's 3-inch armor
       to the hangar deck, exploding amidst two dozen planes 
       carrying 36,000 gallons of gas and 30 tons of explosives. 
       Rockets and bombs howl in all directions. Hundreds of men 
       are forced to leap into the sea to escape, leaving the 
       captain with only one third of his crew; 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 brave sailors 
       in the face of catastrophe"--|cProvided by publisher.
