Product Description

Product Description

During World War II the aircraft and crews of RAF Coastal Command played a vital role of patrolling and defending the waters around Great Britain against enemy air and naval forces. These included everything from long-range fighters and patrol aircraft, like Junkers Ju88 and Focke Wulf Fw200 Kondor, to marauding U-boats, E-boats and warships. The aircraft of the Command ranged far and wide, attacking coastal targets in Scandinavia, Germany and enemy-occupied Europe. Many of these strikes were captured on film, providing vivid evidence of the devastating firepower brought to bear against enemy targets by the Command's Mosquitos, Beaufighters and Sunderlands. Using the extensive archives held at the Public Record Office, the author has brought to light a series of photographs taken by RAF Coastal Command crews in action during World War II, illustrating in detail the aircraft and the actions fought by the Command over six years of war. Illustrated with more than 180 photographs, each accompanied by a fully researched caption, this book aims to bring attention to a wider audience the wartime exploits of RAF Coastal Command.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning action photographs of Coastal Command in action, 11 Feb 2001
By A Customer
As in Nesbit's book RAF in Action 1939 -1945, he has chosen a stunning selection of action photographs from the Public Records Office. His narration conveys the agony as well as the ectasy of Coastal Command operations against the German and Italian navies during this period. This was a most enjoyable read.

(REAL NAME)   
The author chose a number of very interesting and often spectacular photos for the book - one really feels in the thick of the action. The text is concise and well written.
