An adrenaline-charged account of torpedo attacks a few feet above the Ionian Sea --The Daily Telegraph

Torpedo Leader describes those months when Gibbs practically ran his own airforce from the island [of Malta], proving his theory that the airborne torpedo was the ideal weapon for attacks on shipping. --South Wales Echo

This is a remarkable and valuable account. --Britain at War

Présentation de l'éditeur

Written during the war without benefit of hindsight, this is a remarkable and valuable account. A very personal story, its lucid, exciting and readable narrative describes firstly the author's frustrations as a Staff Officer in Cairo, then his triumphs and disasters as a Beaufort Flight Commander on the anti-shipping operations from Malta in 1942, during which Gibbs' contribution was immense.
