Rejected as a bomber by the RAF, the B-17 was used extensively as a
long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft by Coastal Command. This
book tells the fascinating story of these operations, a vital but often
overlooked part of the fight against the U-Boats. All the aircraft
involved are listed, and the tedious but essential work of their crews
described, including some epic encounters with enemy submarines. Fully
illustrated with many wartime photos, and scale plans of the airframe
modifications.
Full colour profiles of representative aircraft.
Essential reading for aviation enthusiasts & scale aeromodellers.
