Description
British Coastal Forces: Two World Wars and After is a comprehensive study of the subject, drawing on contemporary official material and published memoirs to explore the technical story behind these craft and their innovations. This book provides in-depth analysis of how British coastal forces fought, with a focus on the technology that was at the edge of what was feasible during both world wars.
The boats incorporated significant British innovation, while also benefiting from important US contributions, particularly in supplying high-powered engines during World War II. The author's use of detailed plans and extensive reports from US naval observers adds depth to the narrative.
