Издание на английском языке
This book explores the confrontation between the British Bristol Beaufighter and German ships with enhanced anti-aircraft defenses in World War II. It examines the development of RAF anti-ship aircraft, the Beaufighter's combat use in the Mediterranean, North Sea, and off the coast of occupied Europe, and the evolution of German escort vessels, which the Allies called "Flak Ships." Special attention is given to the tactics of strike wings, the role of anti-aircraft fire in convoy protection, and the heavy losses suffered by both sides, including the events of "Black Friday" on February 9, 1945.
