Stealthily by Night: The Coppists Clandestine Beach Reconnaissance and Operations in World War II - Hardcover
COPP (Combined Operations Pilotage Parties) were formed in December 1942, when the need for invasion beach reconnaissance and assault guidance for invasion fleets was officially recognized. COPPs were a revolutionary concept: independent teams, led by Lieutenants, Royal Navy, qualified Navigators or Hydrograhers capable of navigating cruisers or aircraft carriers teamed with Captains, Royal Engineers, preferably Commando and SBS trained: to carry out small-boat reconnaissance missions of heavily defended enemy beaches with full knowledge of proposed major offenses and where their capture could well compromise future strategy.
