Konstam, AngusTHE CONVOY: HG-76: Taking the Fight to Hitler's U-boats HG-76 sailed from Gibraltar to Britain in December 1941 and was specially targeted by the Germans. Luftwaffe aircraft and a U-boat wolfpack targeted the convoy in a rare example of German inter-service cooperation. Yet the British outfitted the convoy escorts with improved radar and sonar that gave the convoy a slight edge over their opponents, while the HMS Audacity, the Royal Navy's first escort carrier, offered aerial surveillance and protection. HG-76 was led by Commander Walker, an anti-submarine expert who had developed new, aggressive U-boat hunting tactics. The convoy endured seven days and nights of relentless attack. Technical and tactical developments infuse the narrative of terror and the stubborn determination that defined the experiences of those that served on convoy duties.1 vol, 320 pgs 2023 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-dj, available mid October 2023 ......$35.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our WWII
