KÜSTENKOMMANDO IM KRIEG. Bowyer WW2 Royal Air Force Battle of the Atlantic U-Boot
COASTAL COMMAND AT WAR CHAZ BOWYER LONDON: IAN ALLAN 1979 30 x 22 cm. 159 pp. HB/DJ In Britain's struggle to survive in World War II, the role of Coastal Command was as vital as that of Fighter Command. But whereas the Battle of Britain was brief, dramatic and fulsomely glamorous, the Battle of the Atlantic was unending, for the most part deadly monotonous, and Coastal Command's 'aces' went largely unsung. The struggle against the U-boat began on the first day of the war and continued until the last. It involved Coastal's crews in ceaseless patrols over the unforgiving sea — by day and by night, in fair weather and foul, often in aircraft ill-adapted for their purpose. Yet Coastal's results were remarkable — of the 727 U-boats sunk in World War II, no less than 192 were sunk by Coastal Command's aircraft.
