Dark Sky,Deep Water by Norman Franks
The conflict between aircraft and U-boat in the Second World War was a desperate one, fought nowhere near as fiercely as over the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic. It was no easy matter finding U-boats and if they then decided to remain on the surface and fight back, the on-coming aircraft was a large target to determined gunners. The numerous first hand accounts from both sides in this book, accompanied by photos, gives an insight into how Allied airmen and German submarines fought each other in the hostile skies above a deep cold sea.
"'Worthy of a place on most aviation bookshelves' Flypast; 'All the accounts are dramatised by reminiscences...the author's research has been extensive.' Lloyds List; 'An excellent book, describing the skill, bravery and fortitude exemplified by allied airmen over hostile seas!' Light Aviation"
