When I wrote the book it was intended for beginning readers ages 5-9. Soon after it came out, I found out people much older were interested in the mascots. So, I decided to post some of my resources and my mystery list to see if I could get some help with identifying some of these animals.
There are some mascots we have pictures for but don't have their names. If you can help, please message me.
The Sterlet SS-392 had at least 2 Mascots. Stern Planes and a mystery dog who was at a ship's party.
The Sennet SS-408 had Cosmo the Penguin and a mystery dog who needed more sunshine, so they gave him to the B-29 Bombers.
I am sure I will have more mysteries so standby, there will be more added.
This is a picture of the crew of the USS Tirante in Washington, DC back in 1945. Can you identify the dog in the picture? If you have any stories I would love to have them as well.
This is one of my mystery mascots. If you have any information on this dog or any of the military mascots, please send it to me here.
When I was contacted by several adults about my childrens' book on military mascots, I thought I would post some resources for people older than 9! I will be posting them here.
I will continue to post more resources here. Stay tuned.
