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.
