Target Tirpitz is gripping WW2 storytelling at its best & a return to the RAF territory of Patrick Bishops bestselling Bomber Boys & Fighter Boys. The Tirpitz Hitlers greatest weapon was reputed to be unsinkable & the battleship inflamed an Allied obsession: to destroy her at any cost. More than thirty daring operations were launched against the 52 000 ton monster. Royal Navy midget submarines carried out an attack of extraordinary skill & courage against her when she lay deep in a Norwegian fjord in an operation that won VCs for two participants. No permanent damage was done & the Fleet Air Arm was forced to launch full scale attacks through the summer of 1944 to try & finish her off. But still the Tirpitz remained a significant threat to Allied operations. It was not until November 1944 that a brilliant operation by RAF Lancaster Bombers under the command of one of Britains greatest but least-known war heroes finally killed off Hitlers last battleship. Full of colour insight & drama Target Tirpitz is an unputdownable account of one of the great epics of the Second World War.
