Description
This comprehensive study examines the development and operational use of aerial torpedo aircraft by the German Luftwaffe during World War Two.
The book covers the various aircraft types employed for torpedo operations, including the Heinkel He 111, the Heinkel He 115, and the Junkers Ju 88, along with detailed accounts of their missions against Allied shipping across several theatres of operation.
Drawing on extensive research and firsthand accounts, the author provides detailed operational histories, technical specifications, and rare photographs documenting these specialised anti-shipping missions.
The appendices also include personal recollections from Luftwaffe torpedo crews, offering unique insights into the dangers and challenges faced during these operations.
Illustrated with numerous photographs, profile artwork by Tim Brown, and detailed operational chronologies, the book traces torpedo attacks throughout the war, from the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic to the Arctic and North Sea theatres.
