Synopsis
During World War II, on the night of November 11th, 1940, The British Royal Navy launched the first all-aircraft ship-to-ship naval attack against the Italian Navy. Taranto: The Raid, The Observer, The Aftermath tells the story of this raid and its significance to the attack on Pearl Harbor, one year later.
More than a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, aircraft of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm executed a surprise attack on ships of the Italian Fleet anchored in the harbor of Taranto. The raid on Taranto anticipated the attack on Pearl Harbor, and historians have seen it as a precursor to the larger and more devastating strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Taranto raid takes on added significance with the little-known fact that an officer of the US Navy was aboard the British aircraft carrier and reported extensively on the attack to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington. For the first time, this book tells the entire story of Taranto and its relevance to Pearl Harbor.
The book describes the attack in detail and clears up mistakes and misconceptions that appeared in previous publications. The damage was done by 21 planes flown off the deck of HMS Illustrious, with daily reconnaissance flights of the Royal Air Force. Illustrious took to sea the radar and aircraft control procedures that helped win the Battle of Britain. From British sources, the book describes the techniques used to allow the successful use of aerial torpedoes in the shallow waters of Taranto harbor.
