Britain's Royal Navy squadrons went to war equipped with the Fairey Swordfish. A biplane torpedo bomber in an age of monoplanes, the Swordfish was underpowered and undergunned; an obsolete museum piece, an embarrassment. Its crews fully expected to be shot from the skies. Instead, they flew the ancien\u003ci\u003et Stringbag \u003c\/i\u003einto legend. \u003cbr\u003e ​ \u003cbr\u003e Writer Garth Ennis (\u003ci\u003ePreacher, The Boys, War Stories)\u003c\/i\u003e and artist PJ Holden (Battlefields, World of Tanks: Citadel) present the story of the men who crewed the Swordfish: from their triumphs against the Italian Fleet at Taranto and the mighty German battleship Bismarck in the Atlantic, to the deadly challenge of the Channel Dash in the bleak winter waters of their homeland. They lived as they flew, without a second to lose--and the greatest tributes to their courage would come from the enemy who strove to kill them. Based on the true story of the Royal Navy's Swordfish crews, The Stringbags is an epic tale of young men facing death in an aircraft almost out of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garth Ennis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1682475034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682475034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dead Reckoning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 7.30w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/17\/2020 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/26\/2020","brand":"Garth Ennis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043669537023,"sku":"9781682475034","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0575de3d-5f2e-4e1f-9f47-bc8a8cbe1a11.jpg?v=1684968477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-stringbags-garth-ennis-9781682475034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
