I enjoyed the nautical stories and other semi-biographical stories in this volume but when he got to WWII, I thought the stories read like adventures from a teenaged action stories book. Improbable action and the good guy conquers all. They were dated (I've nothing against dated stories, but in my opinion these did not stand the test of time) and reflected the mores of the time (e.g., the fade out when he gets the girl). Still, others have enjoyed these, so my opinion is just that - my opinion.
