Applecart Link Added...

Thanks to the efforts of Neal Ash, a new FaceBook page has been added for those readers able to see it...It concerns the Small Coastal Transports, which is the topic of an ongoing series in this blog, as well as the subject of an upcoming book which will be featured through the "Print Media" button under the main banner above...Readers with access to FaceBook may view the page by clicking the "Applecart Link" button located in the same row above...This button may be amended later to add a list of APc source links...

Neal has earned his spot in the acknowledgements page of the forthcoming book, titled "APc-48" with the mountains of information he has provided concerning his grandfather's (Stan Ash) service to our nation in WWII as a crewmember aboard one of the tiny ships, APc-1, the lead ship in the class of 100 wartime vessels...Stan Ash's invaluable contribution to Allied victory was the subject of an article already published in this blog, and will be expanded in the book...

Truckman expresses his gratitude not only to Neal for providing information and pictures, and the FaceBook page, but also to his grandfather for his service to our country...If anyone else has information concerning the small, but very effective warships, whether before, during or after WWII, don't hesitate to add to Truckman's knowledge by emailing him through the link provided in the "Contact Truckman" feature located in the side column to the right...

Thanks to all, and especially to all who served...
