During the Second World War; flotillas of the Royal Navy's Motor Torpedo Boats and other coastal forces fought a deadly war for control of the English Channel and the North Sea. These small; fast boats attacked enemy convoys; escorted freighters; landed secret agents and even raided enemy ports. Unsung heroes; these craft and their tiny crews helped stave off defeat in the dark days of 1940. The same vessels then took the fight to other waters; and by the end of the war; British MTB's had seen service in the Mediterranean; the Baltic and the Far East. This book examines the development and operation of these frail; sleek little warships; and describes the way they were manned and how they fought.
