Alan Carey's new book, his fifth on USN and USMC bomber units of the Second World War, is the story of U.S. Navy Fleet Air Wing Seven (FAW-7) and the men who flew the Navy version of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber out of Dunkeswell and Upottery, England during World War II. Navy PB4Y-1 Liberator squadrons were unlike their counterparts in the U.S. Army's 8th Air Force, who battled their way through thick flak and swarms of German fighters while flying to and from targets in continental Europe. The job of U.S. Navy PB4Y-1 Liberator aircrews was to keep German U-boats from successfully operating in the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel by going out day after day, often in miserable weather conditions, on unrelenting search and destroy missions. During the war, FAW-7 Liberators were responsible for the sinking of five U-boats and damaging many more.

The Author has produced an excellent history on Navy PB4Y-1 Squadrons in England during WW II. The book is profusely illustrated with superb images of the men, bases and aircraft the Navy flew during WW II.The subject is not well known but the author has done an excellent job in researching the Navy's role in searching for German submarines in the European theater and has produced an easily readable book that does justice to the men who were assigned to these squadrons. Excellent book and highly recommended.

I was stationed at this facility in England during WW2. It is the best history of the squadrons and their experiences that I have found. There are many pictures of flight crews and action shots that will bring back memories of former friends and shipmates. A good and factual account of their record facing the German U-boat and aircraft. This copy was purchased and sent to a crewmate and he enjoyed reading it immensely. 5 stars plus
