This is the gripping account of the epic hunt for Hitler's most terrifying battleship - the legendary Tirpitz -- and the brave men who risked their lives to attack and destroy this most potent symbol of the Nazis' fearsome war machine. The Tirpitz was the pride of Hitler's navy. To Churchill, she was "the beast", a menace to Britain's supply lines and a threat to the convoys sustaining Stalin's armies. The Tirpitz was said to be unsinkable, impregnable - no other target attracted so much attention. In total thirty-six major Allied operations were launched against her, including desperately risky missions by human torpedoes and midget submarines and near-suicidal bombing raids. Yet the Tirpitz remained afloat. It was not until November 1944 that she was finally destroyed by RAF Lancaster bombers flown by 617 Squadron - the Dambusters -- in a grueling mission that tested the very limits of human endurance. The man who led the raid - Willie Tait - was one of the most remarkable figures of the war, flying missions almost continuously right from the start. Until now his deeds have been virtually unknown. Using his distinctive narrative flair, exclusive cooperation from Tait's family, firsthand accounts, Patrick Bishop recounts the numerous valiant attempts that finally culminated in an extraordinary wartime achievement." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On 3 May 1995, a team of maritime investigators under the direction of novelist Clive Cussler made a remarkable discovery four nautical miles (7.4 km) off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina: the wreck of the Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley, lost without a trace since the night of 17 February 1864, shortly after it exploded a torpedo filled with black powder underneath USS Housatonic, sending that ship to the bottom within minutes. This event marked the first time a submarine sank an enemy ship and at once exemplified both the promise and the risks of underwater warfare. The discovery culminated many years of search by the team, and many others, over 130 years since Hunley's loss (Chapter 4). News of the Civil War find was celebrated by many who had long wondered why the small underwater craft never made it home that fateful night, as well as by those who had a keen interest in the maritime history and technological developments of the 19th century. It was also a double-edged sword: by locating the site, opportunities for scholarship and public education were opened up, but so were avenues for illicit looting or well-intentioned but ill-planned recovery attempts that would destroy the site and possibly the boat itself.
