"Manila Gold" (book title) -- Sid Rich, author (Austin, Texas)

"Manila Gold" ... a story of pioneering military ingenuity during WWII

At the beginning of World War II, defective torpedoes were more the rule than the exception. America’s first line of defense was shooting duds. Beginning with the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, relive the tales of the USS Trout; defective torpedoes, the liberation of Philippine treasure, MacArthur’s daring escape from Corregidor, exciting detailed submarine battle sequences as well as the Battle of the Coral Sea, Jimmy Doolittle’s Tokyo Raid and the Battle of Midway.

In many ways this book is dedicated to the officers and men of the US Silent Service, who had to virtually re-write wartime tactical doctrine, on-the-fly, during the early months of World War II in the Pacific. They were undoubtedly modern military pioneers. History has provided a place for these resilient sailors and the incredible deeds they performed by securing a prominent position in the nation’s naval fleet for a powerful submarine force.
