Does anyone know of a bibliography of all books written by the historic Cousteau Team members (ie Falco, Dumas, etc...)? Anyone know a good source for a list?

Thanks.
 
I am actually interested in books written by the team members and people who worked for Cousteau, not Coustea himself. Can anyone give me more info
 
Wikipedia has this to say about Tailliez:

Books and film by James Dugan (from wikipedia):

Film

The Silent World (1956, wrote film narration)
World Without Sun (1964, wrote film narration)

At the same time a German diver named Hans Hass was also active though using rebreather technology. They were contemporaries but not friends (I think). He actually beat Cousteau to be the first to film underwater. If your interest is early diving/photography/film/marine biology/expeditions he would be of interest to you.

I have funny karma this way. After providing the above info yesterday I picked up this book by James Dugan today (inside title page, no dust cover on this copy):

Picture2001-2.jpg


"World Beneath the Sea" by James Dugan (and others). HC 204 pg's.
Publisher: National Geographic Society, 1967. LOC# 67-16081

As a note. This was JD's last work as he died while writing this book.
 
"Falco Chief diver of the Calypso" by Diole & Falco, published by Barrons, 1977, LCC 77-376, hard back with dust jacket, 296 pages.

Good book, lots of pictures, drawings and charts

Rather rare at this late date therefore expect to pay $$$$ for a mint copy.
