Roger Litwiller is the author of Warships of the Bay of Quinte. His interest in Canada's navy began as a sea cadet in his hometown of Kitchener, Ontario. Later he became an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve and the Navy League of Canada. He lives near Trenton, Ontario.
Litwiller’s skill as a story-teller makes the reader feel like a
member of the Trentonian crew from the time of its launch at
Kingston harbor on Sept. 1, 1943 until its torpedoing by the German
submarine, U-1004.
*Maritime Engineering Journal*
Along with using the official records of the ship, the author has
interviewed many of the men who served in Trentonian who each have
a unique personal perspective. Photographs from the private
collections of the crew and military archives bring the book to
life, illustrating this testament to the ship and the men who
served in it.
*SeaBreezes Magazine*
It takes unedited quotations from participants and those outsiders
associated with these ships, recorded thoughts and comments at the
time by crew, to bring the story alive with people.
*Starshell Magazine*
Roger Litwiller’s White Ensign Flying, a scholarly but highly
readable account of a Royal Canadian Navy corvette with a short and
eventful career, is ship biography at its best
