COASTAL COMMAND VS THE U-BOAT

by Peter G. Dancey




Air Chief Marshal Philip Bennet Joubert de la Ferte, the Commander-in-Chief of Coastal Command in the early war years, knew that technical advance was the only way to contain the U-Boat menace. The author describes the role played by Bletchley Park in de-crypting German codes and U-Boat operational instructions. He details the development of ASV and the Leigh Light for night operations and documents the deployment of new heavy calibre weapons and depth-charges plus the American Mk 24 Acoustic Homing Torpedo.

BURMA '44: THE BATTLE THAT TURNED BRITAIN'S WAR IN THE EAST

by James Holland



In February 1944, a rag-tag collection of clerks, drivers, doctors, muleteers, and other base troops, stiffened by a few dogged Yorkshiremen and a handful of tank crews managed to hold out against some of the finest infantry in the Japanese Army, and then defeat them in what was one of the most astonishing battles of the Second World War. What became known as The Defence of the Admin Box, fought amongst the paddy fields and jungle of Northern Arakan over a fifteen-day period, turned the battle for Burma.

THE RAF PATHFINDERS

by Martyn Chorlton




The story of Bomber Command's elite squadrons. Twenty five minutes was what it took to run the gauntlet of the Berlin air defences from end to end at full stretch. The flak barrage put up from the ground was merciless and, if your plane was caught in the searchlights, you had little chance of survival. The Luftwaffe night fighters were waiting for you on the way home as well. This new history of the RAF Pathfinder Squadrons outlines the increasingly successful role they played in bringing accuracy and effectiveness into the air war waged by Bomber Command against the Third Reich during 1942-1945.
