Tlic data was assemliled from official action reports, ship ' s records, the history of Air Group Thirteen, and from conversations with crew members. The story was i)repared by Lt. hn iii K. liuuman, U. S. N., with the advice and assistance of Mr. Paul W arrick, of Atlanta. Ga. Grateful acknowledgment for material and editorial assistance is made to many officers and men who served in the V. S. S. Franklin; in particular, to Gomdr. liichard L. Kibbe, U. S. N.. Capt. Leslie E. Gehres, U. S. N., Capt. James M. Shoemaker. U. S. N.. Capt. Joe Taylor. U. S. N.. Capt. Benjamin Moore, U S. N., Capt. F. F. Agens. U. S. N., Chief Boilermaker Robert C. Stewart. U. S. N.. Lt. Comdr. Donald A. Gary, U. S. N.. Ch. Mach. W iiliam E. Green. U. S. N., Comdr. T. J. Greene. U. S. N.. Lt. Comdr. James Moy, (MC) U. S. N., Chief Yeoman William Tyree, U. S. N., Aviation Ciiief Ordnance- man Carl Orndorff, U. S. N.. Lt. Comdr. Philip X. Walsh, ChC. U. S. N. R., and Comdr. Jose|)h CrCallahan. ChC, U. S. . R. Also to Lt. (jg) Jack Slilwill. Chief Musician H. K. ' Saxie ' Dowell Lt. Joseph LaRocca, and Lt. Kiiulc eidman, who are now separated from the naval service. All pictures are official U. S. Navy photograjjhs. Credit for many of them is due Chief Photog- raphers Mate Luke J. Durante, who was killed in action 19 March. 194.S. The art work, including the cover design, was pre])ared by Thomas Leo, Seaman First Class, U. S. N. R. Attempts to achieve accuracy of detail, especially in connection with individuals names, have been handicapped to a certain extent by meager records, separation of personnel from the service and partial destruction of photographic files and records during the action of 19 March, 1945. It is sincerely hoped that no grave omissions have occurred. The interest and assistance of the Commanding Officer. Comdr. H. H. Hale. U. S. N., have made this book possible. March 19th. 1946. U. S. Navy Yard, Brooklyn, N. Y.
