| Think of Britain's fighting navy in the Second World War and you picture |
| towering battleships, mammoth aircraft carriers, powerful cruisers, |
| sleek destroyers. But alongside them are hosts of smaller craft, |
| without whose efforts the mighty fleets could not operate. They are |
| "the little ships" - trawlers, drifters, coastal craft of all kinds. |
| They served on the seas of the world, and this is the story of just two |
| of themàof the ice-cold courage of their crews. |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| As the title suggests, this memorable maritime tale takes the focus |
| away from sleek Royal Navy vessels and concentrates instead on rather |
| less glamorous vessels. It's a refreshing change and we get to see an |
| authentically dangerous slice of life in the choppy North Sea. Veteran |
| interior artist Gordon Livingstone delivers the goods as usual but |
| special plaudits go to cover artist Jeff Bevan for his stunning trawler |
| illustration - we can see the rust on the ship's stern and even below |
| the waterline as the trusty craft surges through the spray of the sea. |
| Scott Montgomery, Deputy Editor |
