Reviews

If any branch of Britain's armed force in the Second World War needs saving from an undeserved obscurity, it is RAF Coastal Command. McKinstry has done a fine job in rescuing it from long neglect -- Richard Overy, author of BLOOD AND RUINS A story as satisfying as it is utterly compelling -- Duncan Campbell-Smith, author of JET MAN An engrossing account of the huge, and often under-appreciated, contribution made by RAF Coastal Command to the defeat of Hitler's Reich -- Brendan Simms, co-author of HITLER'S AMERICAN GAMBLE Compelling. McKinstry's masterful grasp of his subject shines in this story of RAF Coastal Command. Detailed, readable and important -- David Price, author of THE CREW and MOSQUITO MEN The men of Coastal Command have long deserved a worthy monument to their amazing deeds. Leo McKinstry has provided it magnificently -- Patrick Bishop, author of FIGHTER BOYS
