I recently finished reading two books co-authored by the above two authors: `PQ17 - Convoy to hell' and `The war of the landing craft'. Extremely well written and made gripping by the true narrative, with personal accounts added from people who were there. I did a quick check before logging on to BOCN this morning and found that the two wrote a number of books on World War Two naval operations. I have had mine for about 35 years and only this year got around to reading it.
