Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Satisfying examination of the means by which both the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy attempted to neutralize and/or destroy the SMS Tirpitz during World War II. One of the things you get out of the analysis is just how futile many of the early efforts were, based on inadequate ordnance or poor planning. It was only much later in the war, during 1944, that the wounding and killing blows were struck, and the author does a good job of explaining how this came to pass. Also shown was just how difficult the job was, even with the RAF/RN inadequacies. Definitely recommended for WWII buffs. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

The story of the high-stakes air campaign to sink the battleshipTirpitz in her Norwegian lair, when a single bomb could end her threat to the Arctic Convoys and alter the war. This is the story of an air campaign in which each bomb could dramatically influence the course of the war. In January 1942, the powerful German battleshipTirpitzsailed into her new base in a Norwegian fjord, within easy reach of the Arctic Convoys. Her destruction suddenly became a top Allied priority. But sinking a modern and formidably armed battleship was no easy task, especially when she lay secure in a remote, mountainous fjord, protected by anti-torpedo nets, radar, flak guns and smoke generators. This book charts the full, complex story of the air war againstTirpitz, from the Fleet Air Arm's failed torpedo attack at sea, the RAF's early Halifax raids, and the carrier-borne Barracuda airstrikes of OperationsMascot,Tungsten andGoodwood, to the three Tallboy attacks that finally crippled and sank her. With detailed maps and diagrams, it explains the aircraft and ordnance the British had to work with, the evolving strategic situation, and why the task was so difficult.
