Notă biografică

David Turner has worked in TV, radio and newspapers. He was also a pilot for British European Airways and a marketing director at British Steel. His close personal connection with the sinking of the Royal Oak - his uncle was one of those lost when it was torpedoed - resulted in a lifelong interest in the terrible tragedy.

Descriere

On 13 October 1939, HMS Royal Oak, one of the British navy's top battleships, was destroyed at the Royal Navy's main anchorage at Scapa Flow, Orkney. The audacious attack, by a German U-boat, was the first major blow against Britain of the Second World War. Over 800 lives were lost, including sailors as young as 14.
