Our Price: £15.99.
This
publication is about the largely unwritten actionsd of RAF Coastal Command
1939-1945, including details of strikes against U-Boats and enemy shipping.
Fleet Air Arm squadrons flew with RAF Coastal Command from 1940 until the
end of the war. The Royal Air Force's Coastal Command carried out
a vital but largely unknown struggle throughout World War II. Often equipped
with obsolete aircraft, their mission was initially the protection of Britain's
convoys during the Battle of the Atlantic. Much of this effort was directed
against the German U-boats and, in fact, 192 out of 727 U-boats sunk were
credited to Coastal Command. Actions were also taken against German surface
raiders and aircraft, often involving long flights in bad weather. As the
war progressed, Coastal Command adopted a more aggressive role, attacking
German shipping in its home waters.
