Fyfe (the skipper that sank the three subs) in it at the scope but looking at the camera not through a scope. I looked really close and was able to match the two photos up by the man operating the sound gear in the backgroung, he is the same in both. So now I want to contact TIME LIFE and have them say it was Capt. Fyfe.
Sarsfield next time you are at the Batfish look at the picture in the control room.
Here is the cover photo on the book. (Ido not have the other photo as it is under glass at the Batfish)
