With vivid firsthand accounts, this WWII history examines the RAF
Coastal Command’s operations at sea against U-boats and the German
Navy. In Deep Sea Hunters, historian Martin Bowman delves into the
Royal Air Force Coastal Command’s dynamic role in countering German
naval power during the Second World War. Beginning with the disastrous
Norwegian Campaign, he covers the numerous attacks on the bustling
German submarine base at Lorient, the attack on Brest, as well as many
other pivotal and dramatic events of the conflict at sea. The hunt or
U-boats is relayed in full and gripping detail, with first-hand
accounts from U-boat attackers—as well as German
submariners—punctuating Bowman’s dramatic prose. This two-sided
history is sure to appeal to all enthusiasts interested in gaining a
balanced insight into Second World War naval history.
