| The
Attack on the Taranto, blueprint for Pearl Harbor. By Thomas P. Lowry &
John W.G. Wellham. Stackpole Books; ISBN: 0811726614. Our Price: £9.50 |
 |
Tells
the story of the greatest of the Fleet Air Arm strikes in WW2, the attack
on the Italian Fleet at Taranto, in November 1940, John Wellham being one
of the veterans taking part in the operation. The attack was regarded by
many as the Blueprint that the Japanese used for their own attack on Pearl
Harbor the following year.
When carrier-launched
Japanese bombers struck Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, there were at
least a few who were not surprised. They had seen it all before. In November
1940, in a series of striking parallels, British carrier-launched Fairey
Swordfish aircraft virtually put the Italian fleet out of World War
II for good. Never before has there been a thorough study of the attack
on Taranto made available for the popular audience. Thomas P. Lowry has
devoted years of research in Britain and elsewhere to the subject and John
W. G. Wellham is one of the surviving Fleet Air Arm pilots who flew the
raid. Between them, Lowry and Wellham have created a model study of men,
machines, and nations all bound together on the road to making history.
