Welcome to our brand new Coastal Command series.
This is Chapter 1 – ‘Constant Endeavour (The Overview)’.
In this chapter we take a strategic view of Coastal Command; how it entered the war, delivered with inadequate equipment, honed its success strategies, and helped to turn the course of the air war.
As you will hear from this discussion with Ben Kite, there is a much wider context for the successful outcome of the Battle for the Atlantic and the anti-shipping strike campaign.
Recorded October 2021
