Learn about little-known combat ventures aboard a U.S. Navy vessel during World War II from the eyewitness accounts of Navy veteran John Gamble. Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific describes life as a World War II sailor in the Pacific theater. Gamble throws us onboard his ship the same way he was thrown -- at breakneck speed. Leaving high school friends behind, Gamble joins the U.S. Navy and is trained as a radioman in the new technology of radar. He learns the basics of Navy life, forms friendships along the way, and helps to make his ship what the admirals need it to be -- a fighting machine to defeat the enemy and bring peace back to the Pacific.While Pollywog and Shellback Tales of the South Pacific is not a complete summary of Gamble's wartime experiences, the stories give an astounding look at what it was like to be a sailor on a Navy ship during the battles of the Pacific. Glimpse the individual perspective of combat at sea and imagine one man's commitment to his country no matter the cost.John Gamble, Sr., was born and raised in the Atlantic coast region of what is now part of New York City. Many years after returning from naval combat in the Pacific, he was one of relatively few workers fortunate enough to have worked on the lunar landing module; this was destined to make the first moon landing. He could see the whole world opening up and felt caught in the upheaval as his generation came into being. He witnessed Einstein's theories become reality as the atom was split and the scientific wonder gave birth to a horrific nuclear arms race. He witnessed what were then the world's two tallest buildings being erected and witnessed their demise. Mindful of Nostradamus's papers, he grew fascinated as the changes in technology brought new dimensions to his thinking. According to Gamble, there are many bittersweet moments in life. We must choose to have hope and be among those who desire to see a hopeful future.
