The outcome was a series of sea\/air battles at close quarters, fought with increasing ferocity until the last days of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Germans tried everything against the Beaufighters and Mosquitos of the Strike Wings, including intense flak, parachute mines, and even flame-throwers. The casualties were appallingly heavy on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this classic account of one of the neglected yet crucial theatres of the air war, Roy Nesbit, himself a survivor of strike aircraft of Coastal Command, describes these complex battles from British and German records, assisted by first-hand accounts from some of the brave airmen who took part. He also analyses the effects of the tactics employed on the German war economy, with some startling conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a fascinating, clearly written and vivid history of events that were little publicised during the war for reasons of security. \u003cem\u003eThe Strike Wings\u003c\/em\u003e includes detailed diagrams of some of the key attacks and features some astonishing photographs taken in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roy Conyers Nesbit has a long-established reputation as a leading aviation historian.
