"In January 1942, the powerful German battleship Tirpitz saled into her new base in
a Norwegian fjord, within easy reach of the Arctic Convoys. Her destruction suddenly
became a top Allied priority. But sinking a modern and formidably armed battleship
was no easy task, especially when she lay secure in a remote, mountainous fjord, protected
by anti-torpedo nets, radar, flak guns and smoke generators. This book charts the
full, complex story of the air war against Tirpitz, from the Fleet Air Arm's failed
torpedo attack at asea, the RAF's early Halifax raids, and the carrier-borne Barracuda
airstrikes of Operations Mascot, Tungsten, and Goodwood, to the three Tallboy attacks
that finally crippled and sank her."--Back cover
