Review: This is the second of two volumes (the first covers 1939–41) on the Luftwaffe’s anti-shipping units. It describes, with the additional use of photographs, the aircraft, camouflage, markings and their operations between 1939 and 1945. The text covers: early mine-laying operations; the war over the North Sea; closing the English Channel; the Norwegian Campaign; the Battle of Britain; torpedo-bomber operations; the Focke-Wulf Condor and the battle over the Atlantic; attrition over the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean; glider-bombs; long-range anti-shipping operations; and Normandy.
