Herman Wouk (seen in the above and below photos), a naval officer in World War II and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of some of my favorite WWII Navy novels, including The Caine Mutiny, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, died today. He was 103.
The Caine Mutiny was made into a 1952 classic film with Humphrey Bogart and The Winds of War and War and Remembrance were made into TV mini-series starring Robert Mitchum as Commander "Pug" Henry.

R.T. My wife and I saw The Caine Mutiny paly staged in a courtroom in Philadelphia's City Hall. Good play made more realistic by its authentic setting. Have you seen the Winds of War mini-series? I offer the link to the series - free on youtube.com. Robert Mitchum was terrific in the WWII historical novels.
