4638bdLondon: Jarrolds Publishers Limited n.d. Small octavo hardcover blue cloth hardcover map illus. endpapers 192 pp. Very Good with bookplate and light foxing age darkened spotting to page edges; in a Very Good dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges with a price stamp of 7/6 net. From dust jacket: One of the lessons of the war is the need of adequate air support for the Royal Navy. Five and a half million square miles of sea covering the Atlantic between the Arctic and the Equator are patrolled by the Coastal Command of the Royal Air Force giving that support. Here is a book that takes you behind the scenes of a great Command -- into the Headquarters’ Operations Room where R.A.F. Group Captains and R.N. Commanders work side by side; into the Group Headquarters; into the Stations from which by day and night fly a never-ceasing series of patrolling aircraft; and inot the aircraft themselves. The author who has had exceptional opportunities of watching the development and work of Coastal Command since the start of the war discusses the question of co-operation with the Royal Navy and shows how the two Services are linked at every stage of the Command’s activities. Here you are introduced to the men who spend their flying time over the Atlantic helping to bring the conbvoys safely to Britain; who hunt the U-boats and have driven them largely to the other side of the ocean; who make dangerous reconnaissances over the long coastlines of enemy territory; who sweep across enemy supply ships at mast-height while where their bombs thud into the decks below; who launch torpedoes against enemy warships. Here you may meet the pilot who captured a U-boat from the air; the pilot who found the Bismark; and navigators who as mariners of the air are the most highly skilled in the world.
