RAF Coastal Command
RAF Coastal Command was a unit of the British Royal Air Force that operated from 1938 to 1945 during World War II. Its main mission was to protect Britain’s shipping lanes from German U-boat attacks which posed a major threat to the success of the war effort. In order to fulfil this objective, the RAF Coastal Command had a number of weapons and tactics at their disposal, including anti-submarine bombs and depth charges, long-range reconnaissance aircraft, and anti-shipping patrols.
