The Raid on Taranto..
...any of you have any good skinny on the Swordfish Raid on the Italian Fleet in Taranto Harbor in November of 1940? I'm looking for pics (or artwork) of the planes that flew, Order of Battle, etc...
Don't refer me to google or Wikepedia---been there, done that. I'm looking for some unique material and insight...

The second is the same - a good book but no photos (at least in my copy)

England attacked Taranto???? When did that happen and what do they have against the Canadians? Sure the Blue Jays won the World Series in '92 and '93 but that's no reason to attack them!!

Manstein, I don't know if you might have found this already, but it appears to be an archived web-site that has all kinds of data that you might be interested in:http://www.oocities.org/ed_morris_inc/grandfather/Taranto.htm
