商品簡介
In 1933, the Air Ministry issued a specification for a general-purpose four-engine flying boat capable of operating from the outposts of the Empire. The result was the remarkable Sunderland, built by Short Brothers
This book covers the development of the Short Sunderland and its operations during and after the Second World War. The Sunderland's ability to engage six or more enemy fighters simultaneously earned it the Luftwaffe's nickname of the `Flying Porcupine'
The aircraft's `maid of all work' role over the eastern Mediterranean is covered in detail, and includes recce's for the Royal Navy, evacuations from Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete, as well as attacks on enemy submarines
The Canadian, Australian and Norwegian squadrons' operations within Coastal Command are detailed plus, outside the Command, those of the South Africans and New Zealanders. The author also includes details of post-war operations such as the Berlin Airlift
Detailed appendices include lists of Sunderlands with brief histories and all known successful attacks on enemy submarines
