Product Description

Product Description

This is an account of the anti-U-boat campaigns during World War II. It contains reminiscences of: the saga of the Italian submarine "Luigi Torelli"; the first U-boat to be attacked by an aircraft carrying a Leigh Light; of Operation Swamp along the southern Mediterranean coast of Spain, with U343 being attacked by eight aircraft of which two were shot down and two others damaged; and of the sinking of U459 onto which the attacking aircraft actually crashed when shot down. These, and other first-hand accounts from both sides, aim to give an insight into how Allied airmen and German submarines fought against each other in the the hostile skies above the deep, cold sea.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eccellent documentery of the Aerial War against the U-Boats, 28 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Sky, Deep Water: First Hand Reflections on the Anti-U-boat War in Europe in WWII (Paperback)
This book captures what the "Original" Kipper Fleet was all about that being the hunting and killing of the Wolf Packs which roamed the Atlantic ocean preying on the allied convoys in World War 2. Using wartime inventions such as the forerunner of the modern Searchwater Radar and the original Leigh Light a searchlight carried firstly in the bomb bay and then wing mounted the daring crews would let down to an altitude of fifty feet above the wave tops to retain the element of suprise. Individual U-Boats are followed through their various war cruises and using first hand accounts , paint the pictures of the daring attacks made on them by the crews of Coastal Command Royal Air Force. I found this book difficult to put down a thoroughly good read.
