This book summarises the story of how RAF Coastal Command overcame
the German U-boat danger during the Second World War and how the
escalation of the U-boat war promoted the development of
anti-submarine warfare, leading to victory over this menace in the
Atlantic. At the start of the war, RAF Coastal Command had
virtually no real chance of either finding or sinking Germany's
submarines, but within a short period of time, new methods of
detecting and delivering deadly ordnance with which to sink this
underwater threat were dreamt up and implemented. It took the men
of Coastal Command long hours patrolling over an often hostile sea,
in all types of weather, but their diligence, perseverance and
dedication won through, saving countless lives of both merchant and
navy seamen out in the cold wastes of the Atlantic and contributing
much to the final victory over Nazi Germany. This new addition to
the Images of War series serves as a tribute to these men,
recording their exploits in words and images.
