A WWII wing commander's "adrenaline-charged account of torpedo attacks a few feet above the sea" (The Daily Telegraph). In this vivid and very personal story, written during World War II at the height of action, Patrick Gibbs expresses the frustrations, triumphs, and disasters he experienced in his roles as both a staff officer in Cairo and a Beaufort flight commander on the anti-shipping operations from Malta in 1942. With photographs and maps included, this is an exciting inside look at the world of military aviation and one man's view of the war.
