Author Description

In the heat of battle it is all too easy for the fighting man to become disoriented, confused or to misread a tactical situation. This is true of any fighting unit operating in the air, on land or at sea. By today's standards, communication facilities in World War II were primitive, unreliable and prone to enemy interception. It is these major factors which are generally at the root of the incidents of war that are included in this book. What, in hindsight, may now look like a hilarious.
