About this book

Target Tirpitz: The Epic Quest to Sink Hitler's Greatest Battleship by Patrick Bishop. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780007319237.

The mere presence of the German battleship Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord was enough to haunt Allied war planners and keep a significant part of Britains fleet tied to home waters. Consequently, repeated attempts were made throughout the Second World War to sink the ship, including mini submarine raids and many bomber attacks. Patrick Bishops book is a tale of technology, ingenuity and daring, culminating in the final, successful assault of Autumn 1944, using Barnes Walliss Tallboy bombs.
