Description
E-Boat Vs MTB The English Channel 1941-45 by Gordon Williamson During World War II, the German E-Boats patrolled the English Channel, earning it the nickname 'E-Boat Alley'. In response, Britain deployed its own coastal forces, including Motor Torpedo and Gun Boats (MTBs and MGBs) and Motor Launches (MLs). As the Germans upgraded their E-Boat designs to increase armor and firepower, the British developed new types of boats to counter these threats. This book examines the development of both sides' boat designs and their battles in the English Channel. It covers the evolution of the boats involved, from early encounters in the Thames Estuary to the build-up for D-Day. Illustrated with high-quality photographs and artworks, it provides a detailed account of this pivotal conflict.
