AH Osprey books...
- Thread starter MacCaulay
- Start date
No, but it's easy to imagine what could have happened: the two Albacores manage to report the position of the Kido Butai to Somerville who launches a night strike. The Japanese are caught by surprise and one aircraft carrier is lost and another one is lightly damaged in what is considered one of the luckiest strikes in WWII (something like sinking a Japanese aircraft carrier with three Dauntlesses that score a single bomb hit and a near miss).
Next morning Somerville eludes Nagumo who decides to call the operation off. Churchill writes a speech.
To keep with the topic another AH Osprey:
Vanguard. The Peral Class Submarine. Sampson's Nightmare.

The Scourge of the Atlantic:
Detailing the impact the Short Swansea had on the U-boats.
The 'Swansea' was the military production version of the "G" Class flying boat that was intended for non-stop mail service across the North Atlantic.
With this VLR aircraft, in service complemented by the LR Sunderlands ("C" Class derived) - there was little or no Atlantic Gap to give the U-boats santuary.
With Short's losing out to B-P in the Bomber competition, it enabled Sunderland production to continue and work on the "G" Class to proceed faster than OTL.

Duel series
Queen Daenerys class Dragon Carriers of theTargaryen navy vs Queen Cersei class Battleships of the Westeros navy.
By the 89th volume of "a song of ice and fire", the Targeryen navy introduced it's dragon carriers as a new type of capital ship, advocating naval air power, while the more conservative Westeros navy claimed it's new fireproof building methods allowed the battleship to remain king of the seas.
This book covers events from the surprise attack on the Westeros fleet in its Kings Landing base, to the dramatic "death run" of the Lannister's Fast Battle Squadron in the decisive battle of Dragonstone Gulf.

Campaign Series.
How about:
Operation Felix-Heinrich and the fall of Gibraltar - Oct-Nov 1941. Includes the successes of the British Operation Tracer (the stay behind party).
Or:
The failure of Operation Felix Dec 1940 - Jan 1941.
Are there any previous timelines on Op Felix? Having lived in Gibraltar for a few years it would be most interesting to read one.
