Description

As the RAF and USAAF increasingly took the fight to the enemy during the Second World War, ranging far and wide over Occupied Europe, the need became ever more urgent for an effective air-sea rescue service to retrieve downed airmen from the waters around the United Kingdom.

Between 1941 and 1945, UK-based squadrons equipped with the Walrus seaplane rescued or helped to rescue more than 1,300 airmen. This is the story of the inception, development and operational activities of those heroic squadrons, with many first-hand testimonies about the most daring missions.
