Description
Undercover Sailors - Secret Operations of World War II by A. Cecil Hampshire. In the Second World war there were 'special units' each trained, equipped and prepared for some particular offensive operation or series of operations. Among these were the Raiding Forces Aegean whose seaborne depredations became a nightmare to the enemy's island garrisons, the Sea Reconnaissance Unit who fought on surfboards against the Japanese in Burma and the African Coastal Flotilla whose crews nightly and in all weathers voyaged to enemy held coasts to land or bring away secret agents. This is a rare book. 208pp with 15 b/w illustrations and four maps. Blue covers with gold lettering to spine. Contents: I. Corsairs of the Aegean; II. The Surfboard Commandos; III. The Tragedy of Operation 'Checkmate'; IV. Clandestine 'Boating Parties'.
