Failure to maintain this supply line would render us unable to continue the fight in Europe. 30,000 merchant seamen had lost their lives, 100’s of 1000’s of tons of shipping had been sunk and Britain was losing the logistics battle. Extreme exhibitions of courage in the face of both adversity and enemy action were commonplace.īy February 1942 the UK’s critical lifeline of food, oil and military supplies was in danger of being severed. Swordfish, Albacores, Avengers, Martlets and Sea Hurricanes all flew some of the most hazardous missions.
