As the Battle of Britain came to a close, the Luftwaffe began
arming its single-engined fighters with bombs, using them in
preference to twin-engined bombers against many daylight targets.
Two units were designated for these Jagdbomber (literally
fighter-bomber) attacks 10/JG 26. Their targets included shipping
and coastal installations, railways, gas holders and selected
military and civilian objectives. The detrimental effect on British
morale caused by these 'Tip and Run' attacks was devastating.
How could the British military combat the raids effectively? How
could the local populations cope? Questions were asked in
Parliament but no effective answer was supplied. The locals lived
in fear of where and when the next would occur.
The book analyses the campaign from March 1942-June 1943 using
contemporary records and first-hand accounts from both the German
and British. Tactics are considered from both attacker and defender
viewpoints, their successes and their failures.
