Lawrence and the Schneider Trophy. Inevitablythe major part of 'There Shall Be Wings' concentrates on the Second World War.It covers the aircrews who flew against the German advance into France and in the Battle of Britainand includes a fine account from the highest-scoring survivor of the battle. The extraordinary tenacity of Bomber Command aircrews is demonstratedamongst othersby the man who flew a record 127 missions into enemy territory; by the Dambusters; and by a pilot who dropped SOE agents in France and brought back to London a young Francois Mitterand.The fierce battle over Malta is captured by "Laddie" Lucaswhile Johnnie Johnsonthe highest scoring acetells of his time with Douglas Bader. All four surviving RAF holders of the VC Victoria Cross contribute their remarkable individual stories.Finallythe post-war years cover the jet-agecombat in Koreathe Radfanthe Falklands and the Gulf as well as the humanitarian missions flown by Hercules and Chinooks. 'There Shall Be Wings' is a wide-rangingmemorable tribute to the skillcouragespirit and irrepressible humour of those who have served in the RAF during the last 75 years.

Since a simple cannon was first mounted on sailing ships and the warship was thus bornit has had but one principle resolve: to engage and destroy the enemy in action.In the early examples of sea warfare the guns were fixed and hence only by manoeuvering the ship itself could they be aimedand so after much aligning of fleets alongside each other the power and weight of the all important first broadside was truly decisive.Despite the huge advances in gun designmountingloading and aiming that accompanied the evolution of the warshipthis single factor in naval warfare remained relevant throughout.Even in the final warship against warship encounters in late WW2 after the gun had been eclipsed by naval air powerthe commander who first fired the heaviest and most accurate salvo immediately influenced the odds in his favour. This then is the theme of this new study - the hard-fought ship-to-ship battles where the gun was all importantand where salvo after salvo were fired by the protagonists at all ranges from maximum elevation and distance to virtual open sights point-blank actions.Writing with years of experience of sea lifeBernard Edwards vividly recounts a varied selection of truly classic warship gun actionsemphasising the often sudden change from routine sailing to devastating and potentially lethal combat with an almost unseen enemy. Specific actions include: One of the earliest naval gun battles between ironclads at the Yalu River in 1894celebrated battle honour epics such as the Falkland Islands in 1914 and Cape Matapan in 1941night encounters in the Pacific and the bust English Channelconfused and fickle battles such as Dogger Bank and Heligoland Bight in 1914lone duels to the death on the high seas such as Carmania and Cap Trafalgar in 1914 and Stephen Hopkins and Stier in 1942.Edwards skilfully sets the scene for each actionexplaining the background to the naval war at the time as well as that of the individual ships involved before retelling the stirring and dramatic story of each actual clash. Throughout all accounts too there is the recognition that the warship against warship gun battlewhile now part of naval historywas a unique experience that often epitomised the most splendid traditions of navies and courage in the face of the enemy.This fascinating collection of epic sea battles and warship stories will both enthrall and entertain all with an interest in warships and maritime history.
