U-111 Exposed

U-111 Exposed is a factual account of the career of the German U-boat U-111: a book that consists entirely of documented evidence and first-hand accounts that led to a remarkable discovery that no one wanted to believe was possible: a long-lost U-boat that was found at a depth where it was not supposed to be. The truth is now exposed. This book is about a missing U-boat from the Great War: its background, its discovery, its location, and its eventual identification. I know so much about the U-111 because I first started researching it in the 1980's. When I learned from official documents that it lay at a depth of 266 fathoms, or 1,596 feet, I put it aside. It 1989, when Ken Clayton and I formulated the Billy Mitchell Wrecks Project, I brought the U-111 out of hibernation. Even though I could not dive to such a depth, I included it with the Billy Mitchell chapter in Shipwrecks of Virginia (1992). The BMW-Project continued throughout the 1990's, starting with our discovery of and dive on the German battleship Ostfriesland, at a depth of 380 feet, until we located and dived on eight of the nine German warships that were scuttled by naval gunnery, and by aerial bombardment from Billy Mitchell's nascent air force. The only vessel that we did not locate was the U-111. Yet since then, the errant U-boat has re-entered the limelight, due in no small part to my continued research and keen observation. Being the acknowledged expert on sunken U-boats and submarines, I am in the prime position to publish the U-111's convoluted saga: not only because I have discovered, identified, and dived on three U-boats and one American submarine, but also because I have written about them and dozens of other sunken U-boats and Allied submarines around the globe. Now I have written a detailed and truthful recounting of the U-111 against the background of its sister boats, so that my readers will understand how and why they are located in deep water off the coast of Virginia. Woven into the confirmation task of the U-111's identity are in-depth studies and numerous photographs of the World War 2 freighter Olinda and the U.S. Navy submarine R-8. This book is not fictitious hype. It is a true report. It is history. Includes 90 black and white photographs of the U-111, plus 39 color photos and another black and white photographs.
