Middleburg author Tony Wells was recently honored by the Naval Submarine League for his article, "Air Raid Petropavlovsk: A Drill to a Strategy" which appeared in the winter, 2013 edition of The Submarine Review. The Naval Submarine League's Literary Awards were presented at the Naval Submarine League's Annual Symposium Awards Luncheon, that took place on Thursday, October 24th, at the Fairview Park Marriott in Falls Church.

Dr. Wells has served as an officer in both British and American navies, and is the author of The Golden Few, the true story of a group young men who ran for Britain in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and four years later found themselves engaged in an air war of survival high above the English countryside and over the English Channel.
