Paperback. Zustand: Good. 256 pages. Foxing, Cover worn, Text tanned November 29, 1941: 0530 hrs. At sea, three thousand yards off the blacked-out coast of Occupied Norway two ditched Luftwaffe air crew toss in a yellow dinghy . One is dead, his companion close to death. As their rubber coffin roller-coast ers crazily to the crest of yet another curling sea a river of lightning illumin ates the scene - and inexplicably, almost impossibly, reveals a line of ships ? ?? long, low, silent ships.

It is to have fought in Combined Operations .Heart-stopping suspense. New York Times.…
