Ghost Fleet Of The Truk Lagoon: Japanese Mandated Islands - An Account of "Operation Hailstone" February, 1944 (2001) By William H. Stewart
 
This book provides an account of "Operation Hailstone" in February 1944.
 
 In recalling the intrigue and devastation of World War II, one might say that the author has described the events at Truk from the point of view of the fox rather than that of the hound, and that he has exhibited an unusual interest in the footnotes of history. The author spent eight years as an administrator in the Office of the High Commissioner, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (formerly the Japanese Mandated Islands), and in 1970 undertook a cartographic inventory of the shipwrecks in the Truk Lagoon. The maps included herein of artillery positions on Moen, the Eten airfield and the submarine base on Dublon are accurate reproductions of those prepared after the war by the Office of Naval Intelligence and including in the Field Survey of Japanese Defenses of Truk.
