The breakout of the German battleship Bismarck into the North Atlantic in May 1941 was one of the most dramatic naval episodes of World War II. It took place at a time when the resources of the Royal Navy were stretched thinly. The British Home Fleet were hard pressed to counter this powerful German warship, which was vaunted as the most powerful battleship in the world. The full resources of a vengeful Royal Navy were mobilized to hunt her down. Damaged in an attack by antiquated Swordfish torpedo-bombers, the Bismark was finally cornered and sunk by the battleships, cruisers and destroyers of the Home Fleet. Fewer than 200 members of the Bismark's 2000-man crew lived to tell the tale.ISBN: Print 978-1-84908-383-6, PDF e-book 978-1-84908-384-3, ePub e-book 978-1-78200-843-9Illustrated by Paul WrightFile: scanned PDF, paired pages, with back cover
