Sad. All these guys going to their doom before they even started life.

@starlionblue Not every ship was sent,rather capital ships within range were ordered to converge on the Bismarck,some of the older 'R' class battleships were still in home waters as were some cruisers and a sizable force of destroyers which would have deterred any sort of ad hoc operation by the German on the Channel .
-
The gruesome irony of the Swordfish's success was that it was obsolete. The skin covering the wings was so thin and fragile that it actually made it MORE difficult to shoot it down. Some Swordfish pilots admitted that the German guns tore through their planes like tissue paper but that was what saved them. This prevented extra damage to the wings so they were still able to fly. Talk about irony!
-
When Churchill sent every ship to find Bismark, it makes me wonder, was England too lightly defended by sea to stop the Germans if they had gathered all their ships and U-boats and attacked immediately through the English Channel?

amazing a little fly kills a big whale. eternal lesson here.

95 mph!!!!!!

I should add that you are right regarding damge to the catapult. Also launching in general when the sea state was rough.

@leoamery My comment on the range was in regard to your comment on flying the logs to France. (The range of the Arado was 680 nm, that meant 340 out and 340 back.)
-
@SuperAncientmariner But isn't the range you cite for going out and returning, i.e. the Arado can go out 680 nm and return? BISMARCK was just going to fly her Arados out, no return. That would give the Arados enough range.
-
@leoamery Doubtful. The Arado only had a range of app. 680 nm. Bimark was, during the night, over 780 miles from france.

Wow, this is amazing. I remember my Great Aunt recorded this program for me when I was a child, as I always loved military history. I lost the cassette, and couldn't get a copy online. thank you so much for posting this. It's utterly amazing. Oh, by the way, do you also have the A&E special on the Lucitania?
