Description
The Forgotten RAF Force That Won the Battle of the Atlantic In 1943, Britain faced an epic struggle for survival as German U-boats patrolled the Atlantic. In desperation, Churchill turned to an underfunded force known as "The Cinderella Service". Armed with long-range planes, depth charges, rocket projectiles, and radar equipment, the Cinderella boys provided vital air defence, turning the tide of the war. Their transformation from a ramshackle outfit into a formidable organisation was a turning point in the conflict. But despite their crucial role, they never received the credit they deserved. Based on new sources, Leo McKinstry sheds light on the courageous pilots, ingenious scientists, and political risktakers who defended the Atlantic from Nazi rule.
