1 CONNELL, BRIAN. Return of the tiger.
New York, Doubleday & Co. , [1960]. 
[13],14-282p. , 8 pls. , 1 map, map endpapers, cloth, DJ. Story of the British commando raids into Singapore Harbor in WWII under Lt. Col. Ivan Lyon. From the publisher, "It was fall 1943. Ivan Lyon, with thirteen men, sailed a reconditioned junk 2000 miles from Australia, into Japanese waters. One night, in small folboats big enough to hold one man each, they silently paddled into Singapore Harbor. They attached limpet mines to seven ships and sank some 4000 tons. For security reasons the story of this astonishing raid has never before been told. Possibly no act of heroism during the Second World War can equal the incredible daring and bravery of Ivan Lyon's raid, when fourteen men dressed in sarongs, their skin painted brown, sailed a junk into the heart of the Japanese empire, sank seven cargo ships, paddled out, and sailed home safely. The suspense of this remarkable raid is heightened by the personality of its leader, Ivan Lyon, a member of the Gordon Highlanders. . . A year after the first daring success, Lyon executed another raid, which ended in totally tragedy. "
