Probably the best known contemporaneous book about submarine chasers in WWI is the compilation of articles edited by William Washburn Nutting, The Cinderellas of the Fleet. There are two main parts, the first on the ML boats and the second on the 110-foot submarine chasers.
The book is in part a marketing piece by the Standard Motor Construction Company, who built the 220-hp engines for both the MLs and the SCs. Some of it you can take with a grain of salt, such as the chaper, "How it Feels to Sink a Submarine," given that the U.S. chasers weren't officially credited with any kills. But there's a lot of good information in the book, as well, and it's worth a read.
There are two versions: The common version is a mass-market printing with a gray hard cover and silver-on-black title. This is an example of the second version, with a fanicer cover, a little smaller, and with gilt edges and gold-on-black title.
This one also has the recipient's name stamped in gold on the cover, in this case Lt. (j.g.) George S. Dole, CO of SC 93 during the war and of SC 354 for post-war duties in the Northern Russia Expedition and minesweeping in the North Sea.
I'm curious to know how many other COs received one of these. Anyone else have one? This only fairly recently came to me, as it had made its way to my uncle, then after his death my aunt sent it on to me.
Best wishes for the coming spring,
