Torpedo Strike: A Novel of the Fleet Air Arm in the Mediterranean, 1940-41 (WWII Action Thriller Series Book 1)

There are far too few books that feature the exploits of the Fleet Air Arm during World War Two. This is a really great read, exciting and emotional at the same time. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. I give it a well deserved 5 stars.

As ex-forces I am aware of military terminology. However some of the abbreviations were beyond me and detracted from this novel. Still a very good read.

Written with authority but little flair. It passed the time.

A thoroughly enjoyable read. Plenty of action and a great story line. I would definitely recommend this book if you’re interested in the genre.

Action packed but I got confused with all the Naval terms. Mixed up Italians with BritishAlso the Germans to

This is an excellent introduction to the skill and bravery of the Fleet Air Arm. The technology available to the aircraft and their pilots was limited but they still managed to achieve incredible results. The weaving of their exploits into this novel was extremely good and made the book a most enjoyable story.

Thoroughly good wartime action in the Mediterranean. Authentic tale of the Fleet Air Arm. Recommended for all WW2 buffs. Enjoyed it.

Very good reading matter i am reading my 4th book from this author nowWell done keep them coming author

This book and story it contains reads just like watching it as a British 1950s B&W movie about the Fleet Air Arm in WWII. Predictable, maybe a little corny, yet entertaining. If you are interested it the topic and era, it's just what you need !

The story is not flowing nicely and the main character is left a bit shallow

Racconta, invero un po' confusamente, le attività degli aerosiluranti Swordfish imbarcati sulle portaerei britanniche nel Mediterraneo nelle prime fasi del conflitto con l'Italia. Dalla notte di Taranto al disastro di Capo Matapan il lettore italico può leggere la versione del nemico negli occhi di alcuni giovani piloti. A parte alcuni errori di grafia, da Guiseppe a Pantalleria e la visione un po' "maccheronica" degli italici è un libro interessante. In formato kindle in offerta a meno di 1 euro, meglio.

disliked the emphasis on the tribulations of a person rather than giving a deeper account of the Fleet Air arm actions. However well portrayed the difficulties of equipment/aircraft and poor generalship (political and Navy) while undertaking difficult assignments.

Lots of action, and a good accounting of what war is really like. Looking forward to the next in the series.
