The RAF Air-Sea Rescue Service in the Second World War
ISBN: 9781473861305 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the Second World War began in 1939 it was thought that it would be fought along the same lines as the First World War, with the Allied air forces operating from both Britain and France. With the fall of Britain's Northern European Allies in May 1940, all that changed. From then onwards, RAF aircraft operating over enemy and enemy-held territory necessitated flights across both the North Sea and the English Channel. This meant that aircrew in difficulties would be forced to come down in both of these bodies of water. Therefore it was essential that some form of rescue service be made...

A small number of bombers, escorted by large numbers of fighters tried to force the Luftwaffe into battle. Much air combat ensued with RAF light bombers escorted by scores of fighters, but it was not until Germany invaded Russia in June 1941 that operations were stepped up in an effort to take pressure of Stalin s Russian Front. Two major German fighter groups, JG26 and JG2, were, however, more than able to contain the RAF s operations, generally only intercepting when conditions were in their favor. As the...
