Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. In hardback dust jacket in mylar cover, owners sig on fep Illustrated with photographs "Find the enemy; strike the enemy; protect our ships"is the triple task of Coastal Command, in which Britain's Royal Navy cooperates with her Royal Air Force. This… book is in effect an illustrated (one hundred and twenty-five striking photo- graphs) history of the command from its test mobilization two weeks before the out- break of war in September, 1939, to its cur- rent development in coordination with the Navy and Air Force. Included in this history are many dramatic stories: how Coastal Command got the Bismarck, operations in Norwegian fjords and along the coast of France, individual attacks and rescues and discoveries, secret missions to foreign parts, the routing of' submarines. With mine,' bomb, and torpedo Coastal Command maintains an unrelenting offensive against the e'ne'mY,'s shipping, carrying the war into the attackers' own waters along the coast of Europe. Always it is at close grips with the enemy. The failure of every at- tempt to blockade England can be credited to Coastal Command's vigilance. Over and above this, it can pilot ships to safety through hidden mine fields; it can spy danger beyond the sight range of the vessels be- low; it can often perform rescues after a disaster. It is also the Coastal Command which flies officials to vital conferences in far-flung corners of the world. The story of Coastal Command becomes, therefore, a chronicle of contemporary ac- tion, thrillingly and efficiently carried on. It is a story of triumphs and setbacks, of courage and hardihood, and of gratifying achievement.
