Editorial ReviewsnReviewn'An epic account of a legendary aircraft and the men who flew in it.his peronsal courage, determination and resilience shine through every page and stand as an inspiration for all who serve in today's FAA' NAVY NEWS --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. nnProduct DescriptionnCommander Charles Lamb fought an exceptional war piloting the slow and obsolete Fairey Swordfish. Antiquated as it was, the "Stringbag" still outmaneuvered almost any other aircraft--especially with Lamb at the controls. Go with him into the thick of the action--landing on the Courageous just before she sinks; flying 29 sorties over northern Europe; attacking E-boats through the nine days of Dunkirk. Also experience the terror of being shot down.and living to soar again, defending Malta and the Mediterranean. A rare story of courage. Seller Inventory # 47332
