Re: Commissioned 20th January.
Hello,
For the latest (2016), and most authoritative account of "Operation Chariot", I suggest you get a copy of the following book:
Winged Chariot A Complete Account of the RAF's Support Role during the Audacious Commando Raid on St Nazaire, March 1942.
Lush,Peter.
London:Grub Street,2016.
ISBN-13: 9-781-910690-24-6
It fully explains, and debunks the popular misconception, that the RAF bungled the whole affair. The book has detailed appendices explaining The RAF participation, including; A Summary of Sorties Flown, The Combined Plan, Bomber Command Operation Order No.141 and G/C A.H. Willetts' Report. It has a decent index and an adequate bibliography, plus a listing of archival sources.
Col.
