An illustrated examination of the role played by the Sunderland as an antisubmarine aircraft during the Battle of the Atlantic, focusing on the key battles of the Biscay campaign in 1943–44. The Sunderland is an iconic British aircraft of World War II, and the only RAF Coastal Command type to perform frontline service throughout the conflict. Its prime target – the German U-boat – was a deadly adversary to Allied warships and other oceangoing vessels, but proved vulnerable to detection and air attacks from the radar-equipped Sunderland. This book examines the respective advantages and drawbacks of these two maritime predators by providing a vivid analysis of their historic engagement during the Biscay campaign in 1943–44. Drawing upon first-hand accounts of this famous duel, Mark Lardas tells the story of how highly skilled Sunderland crews took the fight to an often elusive enemy and helped RAF Coastal Command defeat the U-boat threat. Maps, tactical diagrams, photographs and specially commissioned artwork bring the action to life as the Sunderland's losses – and eventual victory – in the Bay of Biscay play out in fascinating, insightful detail.

• Excellent photographs from the Australian War Memorial collection • Dramatic air battles over a turbulent sea, hundreds of miles from land and without hope of rescue • Striking U-boat ‘kills’ as concrete proof of operational successes • Beautifully illustrated with many rare and unpublished photographs • Of interest to aviation and military historians, modellers, gamers and flight simulator enthusiasts 1943 was the turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic when forces, technologies and tactics turned against Germany’s U-boats. The victory not only secured Britain’s trans-Atlantic lifeline to the United States, but also enabled the vast build-up in military forces in Britain necessary to launch D-Day in 1944. The Allied battle to defeat the U-boat menace was a combined effort by the naval and air forces of several Allied nations, and this is the story of one part during the decisive mid-war period. Nos 10 and 461 Squadrons of the Royal Australian Air Force flew Sunderland flying boats from bases in Wales and Devon as part of RAF Coastal Command; these two squadrons flew long-range daylight missions over the eastern Atlantic, patrolling Britain’s southwest approaches. They hunted and killed U-boats transiting between their mid-Atlantic hunting grounds and their bases in Bordeaux and fought furious air battles over the Bay of Biscay against Luftwaffe Ju 88 long-range fighters tasked specifically with shooting them down. These two Australian squadrons established a combat record.

Sunderland Built Merchant Ships Sunk by U Boats in World War One This book tells part of the story, of the former ship building town of Sunderland on the North-East Coast of England and of the many merchant ships that were built in the town, that were sunk by U Boats in World War One. Once dubbed the biggest shipbuilding town in the World by the New York Times, an accolade that still held some truth in the early years of the 20th Century. Sunderland's shipbuilding yards were all based on the River Wear and all were within the boundaries of the town unlike many other great ship building areas of the country. The Tyne, for example, has yards in the town of Jarrow, Hebburn and South Shields and the Clyde has several towns on its banks where ship building occurred. As I write this in 2017, the shipbuilding yards of Sunderland have been quiet for some 33 years a victim of Government and European Union cutbacks. Ship building is today, a dying art in the United Kingdom with a few odd yards building for the much-reduced Royal Navy and smaller boats and ships, for the likes of the off-shore industry. Sunderland has a proud history, an industrial history that lies in its past. There are no ship builders left, no marine engine manufacturers, no coal mines, no ship owners of the likes of James Westoll who ran a fleet of Tramp Steamers who picked up cargoes wherever they could, sailing from port to port arriving at its home port in the UK, perhaps once a year. This book tells the story of each of the 810 ships sunk or damaged by U boat during World War One. It also tells of some, of the famous ships like the Lusitania sunk by U20 in May 1915 and the Carpathia, the ship that rescued several hundred passengers from the Titanic on that fateful April day in 1912. It tells the story of some of the Royal Navy ships sunk in that war, often by U boat or by mine, laid by U Boats such as HMS Hampshire and its famous passenger, Lord Kitchener, who died off the Orkney Isles just a few days after the Battle of Jutland. It tells of the ships sunk with explosives, laid by U boats who stopped the ship, forced its crew to abandon ship, to lay an explosive scuttling charge. It tells of a few French and Italian ships, that suffered massive loss of life and also includes a few of the merchant ships, built in Sunderland, that were victims of the Kaiser's Raiders throughout WW1. The 'Sunderland Snapshots' reflect a little about life in the town of Sunderland, the cost of clothing, cloth and hats, the life and history of the town of Sunderland, it's people, it's heroes during the war and its industries. It tells a little of what the town was like before and after the war, but mostly it's about the ships that were sunk, those that were damaged to live and fight again, some to be sunk in that second great 20th Century conflict. It tells about the enemy, the U boat, their strategy and tactics about some of the U boat captains. It reflects the horror and price of the war at sea, the vital lifeline of the North Atlantic, bringing the food, the fuel and the weaponry to keep Britain fighting.

With vivid firsthand accounts, this WWII history examines the RAF Coastal Command’s operations at sea against U-boats and the German Navy. In Deep Sea Hunters, historian Martin Bowman delves into the Royal Air Force Coastal Command’s dynamic role in countering German naval power during the Second World War. Beginning with the disastrous Norwegian Campaign, he covers the numerous attacks on the bustling German submarine base at Lorient, the attack on Brest, as well as many other pivotal and dramatic events of the conflict at sea. The hunt or U-boats is relayed in full and gripping detail, with first-hand accounts from U-boat attackers—as well as German submariners—punctuating Bowman’s dramatic prose. This two-sided history is sure to appeal to all enthusiasts interested in gaining a balanced insight into Second World War naval history.

This book summarises the story of how RAF Coastal Command overcame the German U-boat danger during the Second World War and how the escalation of the U-boat war promoted the development of anti-submarine warfare, leading to victory over this menace in the Atlantic.At the start of the war, RAF Coastal Command had virtually no real chance of either finding or sinking Germany's submarines, but within a short period of time, new methods of detecting and delivering deadly ordnance with which to sink this underwater threat were dreamt up and implemented. It took the men of Coastal Command long hours patrolling over an often hostile sea, in all types of weather, but their diligence, perseverance and dedication won through, saving countless lives of both merchant and navy seamen out in the cold wastes of the Atlantic and contributing much to the final victory over Nazi Germany. This new addition to the Images of War series serves as a tribute to these men, recording their exploits in words and images.

The elegant Sunderland was the RAF's staple maritime patrol aircraft throughout World War II (1939-1945). Crucial in the Battle of the Atlantic, the Sunderland was instrumental in defeating the U-Boat menace which threatened to starve the UK into submission. Nicknamed the Flying Porcupine due to its heavy armoury of 14 guns, the Sunderland proved an immediate success in battle. Aside from its worldwide use with the RAF, it saw action with the RAAF, RNZAF and RCAF. This is the first book devoted to the Sunderland's WW2 service to be published in over a decade.
