If you do the incredible often enough, they'll want you to do the
impossible." Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy began
the Second World War with fast, modern torpedo bombers that could
devastate enemy warships and merchantmen at will. Britain's Royal
Navy squadrons went to war equipped with the Fairey Swordfish. A
biplane in an age of monoplanes, the Swordfish was underpowered and
undergunned; an obsolete museum piece, an embarrassment. Its crews
fully expected to be shot from the skies. Instead, they flew the
ancient Stringbag into legend. Writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The
Boys, War Stories) and artist PJ Holden (Battlefields, World of
Tanks) present the story of the men who crewed the Swordfish: from
their triumphs against the Italian Fleet at Taranto and the mighty
German battleship Bismarck in the mid-Atlantic, to the deadly
challenge of the Channel Dash in the bleak winter waters of their
homeland. They lived as they flew, without a second to lose- and
the greatest tributes to their courage would come from the enemy
who strove to kill them. Based on the true story of the Royal
Navy's Swordfish crews, The Stringbags is an epic tale of young men
facing death in an aircraft almost out of time.
