Description
During the Second World War the aircraft and crews of RAF Coastal Command played the 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 the 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, author Roy Nesbit has brought to light a series of remarkable photographs taken by RAF Coastal Command crews in action during the Second World War, illustrating in vivid detail the aircraft and the actions fought by the Command over six years of war.
Illustrated with more than 180 photographs, each accompanied by an exhaustively researched caption, this fascinating book brings to the attention of a wider audience the wartime exploits of RAF Coastal Command.
ROY CONYERS NESBIT served as a navigator on Beauforts with RAF Coastal Command and latterly on the Dakotas in the Far East during the Second World War. He has written ten books on aviation history and co-written five more, including three volumes of The RAF in Camera, and Eyes of the RAF for Sutton Publishing. He is a member of the RAF Historical Society and lives in Wiltshire.
