In 1993 he developed a strong interest in naval history and began editing a series of illustrated ships’ histories primarily of destroyers sunk in World War II. Primary source documents such as action reports, ships’ war diaries, medal citations and muster rolls are included in these histories as well as many firsthand accounts. His booklets were not for sale but he sent complimentary copies to survivors and families of deceased crewmembers and to selected libraries. Under his supervison, they now appear on this web site.
Commander Wilde is a life member of the Naval Historical Foundation and the US Naval Institute.
