RAF Coastal Command

Hi!

Looking for books dealing with the early operational use of Catalinas and Liberators of the RAF Coastal Command.
Any hint will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Chris

I tend to think that "RAF Coastal Command 1936-1969" by Chris Ashworth ISBN 1 85260 345 3 gives a good overview to start off with.

Re: RAF Coastal Command

Hi CJE,

The two links below describe early losses that occurred during combats of RAF Liberators and Catalinas against German submarines.

http://uboat.net/boats/patrols/patrol_1332.html

http://uboat.net/boats/u606.htm

A bit more detail can be found in the book U-Boat versus Aircraft by Norman Franks and Eric Zimmerman (see p.10-13).
