Description
This book graphically highlights the lengths that the RAF rescue services, and the men who manned the rescue machines, were prepared to go if there was the slightest chance of finding survivors and completing a rescue. Much has been written about the air war during the Second World War, a great deal of it concentrating on the operational aspects. Little attention has been paid to many of those who supported these major operations, not least the Air Sea Rescue Service. 276 pgs, pb. ~Amber
Publisher's Description of Shot Down and in the Drink
The RAF's Air Sea Rescue Service saved thousands of RAF, Commonwealth and Allied airmen between 1939 and 1945. This fascinating account draws on first-hand interviews, photographs and official documents to reveal some of its most dramatic missions in northwest Europe, the Mediterranean and the Far East. Those shot down at sea faced terrifying dangers, from weather extremes to enemy fighters, and rescue by airborne or seaborne craft was fraught with difficulty. These incredible stories celebrate the courage, persistence and ingenuity of the men who found themselves in the drink' and those who saved them.
