Synopsis
Written during the war without benefit of hindsight, this is a remarkable and valuable account. A very personal story, its lucid, exciting and readable narrative describes firstly the author's frustrations as a Staff Officer in Cairo, then his triumphs and disasters as a Beaufort Flight Commander on the anti-shipping operations from Malta in 1942, during which Gibbs's contribution was immense.

Review
"'You do not need memories to feel the excitement of Gibbs's tale... It is, above all, a first-class story... The technicalities of tactics, flying and attack are absorbing.' The Spectator 'An adrenaline-charged account of torpedo attacks a few feet above the Ionian Sea.' Daily Telegraph 'Torpedo Leader describes those months when Gibbs practically ran his own airforce from the island [of Malta], proving his theory that the airborne torpedo was the ideal weapon for attacks on shipping.' South Wales Echo 'As a description of one man's efforts to succeed in a vital but hugely hazardous style of operation, at a crucial time in the war, this book is highly recommended.' RAF News 'An exceedingly well written book which captivates the imagination from beginning to end and gets across the excitement, fear and frustrations of the time.' Aviation News"
