By far the most dangerous of the RAF's activities during World War II were the daylight attacks on enemy shipping, according to official returns of casualties, yet little has been written about these dramatic events. Many of these concentrated attacks took place in the Mediterranean, where a few RAF squadrons were successful in destroying vital supplies to enemy forces at critical times during the land battles. This book, written from a study of official records in Britain, Italy and Germany, is backed by numerous first-hand accounts and photographs from airmen who survived these operations. The results of the attacks are analysed in a vivid history of eventsm.

Brilliant Beaufighter.

I thought this was an excellent account of these brave lads who were so brave for us in the Mediterranean campaign. This excellent aircraft, the Bristol Beaufighter, that is often overlooked, was their weapon in the vital years of the war. The damage they did to shipping and aircraft was a vital contribution. The author faithfully gives details of their operations and records the losses by naming every crew members who lost their lives conducting these operations so bravely. I really enjoyed reading this book which salutes these brave boy who were so brave for our benefit. His bless them all.

Interesting book about part of the RAF during World War Two that I knew very little about. It reads as the it has been well researched and is written in an easy to follow style. Worth reading if you are interested in World War Two history of the air war.
