Blenheims in the Med
An aside from a longtime lurker on this wonderful thread:
The Blenheim's shortcomings became all too clear in the Battle of France, yet it soldiered on in front line service because nothing better was immediately available. For a rivetting and moving account of Blenheim anti-shipping operations in the Mediterranean in 1941, look for a copy of The Shiphunters, by R E Gillman (John Murray 1976, ISBN 0 7195 3299 X). The losses were horrendous, and the bravery of the crews hard to imagine in today's age.
