THE U-BOAT PERIL - An Anti-Submarine Commander's War
by Whinney, Bob, ( Capt. Reginald, RN, DSC & 2 bars )
- Used
Poole England: Blandford Press 1986, UK first edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, FINE/FINE CONDITION, 160 pages, illustrations & maps, bibliog., index.-------------------------------- Bob Whinney, one of the highest scoring anti-U-boat hunters of World War Two, relates how the unforseen development of U-boat warfare by Germany so nearly starved Britain into defeat. His story, however, starts much earlier when, as a young sub lieutenant he served on one of the worst ships in the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931. His vivid description of the mutiny makes fascinating reading in its own right.------------------------ Immediately before the war he was one of the first to qualify as ananti- submarine specialist, but as he was to find out, a low priority was accorded to anti-submarine warfare throughout the early years of War.His lucid description of action against U-boats as captain of a battered old destroyer is one of the best ever written. It provides a riveting picture of the hunt and makes the actual process of detection and attack comprehensible to the layman.Frequently at odds with his senior officers and possessing skills little understood or ignored by much of the Royal Navy, Bob Whinney showed that a true expert in his calling could produce spectacular results.
