The “OSBORN” books show the steps of advancement in the American Navy, from Cadet to Lieutenant, with a true picture of naval life as it is. The information given is authentic, and many of the related incidents were actual occurrences. They are books of information and adventure combined.
Such stories as these are not only interesting to the young people but carry with them an insight into naval life which will make the reader have more respect and appreciation of the work of Uncle Sam’s navy. They are first-class stories for boys—clean, good, and worthy of a place in the home, private or school library.
“These are the best stories on the United States Navy which have ever been written, They give a clear insight into the workings of this important branch of American government and the characters are true to life as befits a book written by such a man as Commander Beach, who has enjoyed an enviable career ever since he entered the United States Navy.”—New York Times.
