Putnam. 242 Pages. $7.95. Okay, okltime gumshoe fans, a new book of the Sam Spado et al variety is out and this is a warning to gpt your hands on a copy as quickly as you can. Author Joe Gores has written a chunk of fiction with an unusual twist making the laic real-life author Dasliicll Hammett the main character.

Gores brings to life the flavor and tenor of the characters Hammett created in "The Maltese Falcon" and oilier writings and the result is a delightful escape. The Hammett created by Gores, when told by a friendly bartender that someone had been nosing around asking questions about him, wondered "what's private tin doing step- Hammett meets main character I i i 1 'L By PHIL THOMAS Associated Prtss writer NEW 'YORK About, a month before James Jones' three-year hitch in the army was due to run out, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Instead of going home In January 1942 as planned, Jones found himself fighting on Guadalcanal, getting wounded, and spending nearly sit years in the army before getting his discharge in 1944. Much of what Jones saw and felt during those violent years appears in his latest Grosset Dunlap book, "WW II," a large, lavishly illustrated account of the Author seeking Civil War data AUDUBON Author Edward G. Longacre, who is researching a history of the 12th N.J.

Volunteer Infantry, 1862-65, i3 seeking wartime letters, diaries, memoirs and photographs. Longacre, who has written two books and several articles on Civil War history, requests that descendants of soldiers who served in the 12th Infantry write to him at 447 Chestnut Audubon, N.J. 08106. Longacre said that although the regiment was recruited primarily in South Jersey, it drew a large complement of men from tee northern part of the state. American fighting man In the Second World War told by a man who was in battle himself and remembers combat as being "acarey.

You're probably more afraid of being a coward than of being in combat, so you keep on doing what you have to do. If you get wounded, you get out of it, if you don't, you stay and get used to it." Jones says he spent about six months working on "WW II." "I had to do a lot of reading about the campaigns in Africa and Europe," he says, "since I was only in the Pacific. When I wasn't reading, I was writing, and I tried to write the book so that if someday it were published without all of the pictures it has in it, the text would stand bv itself." The 53-year-old Jones, casually clad in open neck shirt and flared slacks, says the text for "WW II" originally was supposed to be about 30,000 words, "but I found this a challenge, a very exciting idea and the text took off and ran to about 90.000 words. So, instead of the text emphasizing the pictures, the pictures now sort of illustrate the text Jones' wartime experiences have served in the creation of several of his novels. The National Book Award-winning "From Here to Eternity" tells of the peacetime U.S.

Army and climaxes with the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. Jones joined the peacetime army "I didn't have the money to go to college and I JAMES JONES remembers combat as 'scare 16 years before returning to the United States about a year ago and currently lives in Long Island with his wife and their two children, says "Whistle" is about the return to the United States the soldiers who fought in the Pacific. "The Thin Red Line" deals with combat on a Pacific island "We went to Guadalcanal as replacements," Jones recalls. "I was in combat there, it was the only combat I saw.

I was wounded in the head by shrapnel." Since 1963, Jones has been working on a novel called "Whistle." But "I keep getting sidetracked," he explains. "I start and stop and do other things. But I'm about halfway through now, and I hope to finish soon." Jones who lived in Paris for was too lazy to work my way through so I thought I'd go adventuring and was stationed in Hawaii when the Japanese attacked. "I'd been on guard duty that night or I'd probably have been asleep when they hit. There was a bunch of us in the mess when we heard rumbling.

We went outside and there were columns of smoke going up about a mile away. Then a Japanese plane came over, strafing up the street. He was quite low and he waved at us, waved and grinned. Then he was gone. I'd just turned 20." "It's the last in trilogy that started with 'From Here to Eternitv' and continued in The hi I I Thin Red he says.
