- Coastal Command is a documentary style account of the Shorts Sunderland and PBY Catalina flying boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. The film includes real footage of attacks on a major enemy ship by Hudson and Halifax bombers based in Iceland. Later, the film depicts a routine sea patrol, in which a Sunderland flying boat flies over a convoy and bombs a German U-boat. Two versions of the film were made, one featuring an explanatory voice over. In this version, the film ends with the Sunderland crew returning home after the successful attack on the cruiser, and the wounded crew member is hospitalized. After a visit to the hospital, the film ends as the Sunderland crew is informed they will be re-deployed to West Africa, to begin a new mission.

Just brilliant. Fabulous historical archive. Thanks
My Uncle flew these in 3 tours during WW2.
He flew Churchill to Lisbon in one.
Just watched all three parts, thoroughly enjoyed it, all action, no romantic interludes to slow the action, just Grand ✌️
Jolly good . give them a sound thrashing.
Mr Chumley - Warner. The war years.
Home for tea and medals.
I'm certain I saw this at the Imperial War Museum ( in their theatre) when I visited with my late father back in the early '70's . Thanks for great upload.
A tip : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Vivaan Boden yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D
Brilliant video. Airmen having to be actors must have been strange for them but a wonderful film nonetheless.
Top hole, jolly well done chaps, and home in time for tea and medals !!
Sorry if I'm the one to say the British version ( this 3-parter ) is better IMHO
cheers
How did they get the Ju-88s to follow the script?
All very cheerful and good for the folks back home with ration coupons.
Wicked! I loved the guys putting the Vs up to the Beaufighters! Thanks for the upload. Much appreciated!
Splendid propaganda. Getting your arm shot off with a bargepole didn't hurt a bit! All's better with a nice cuppa! No morphine, just bromide! Haha!
I diddent know Freddie mercury was a pilot during ww2
You don't know your own bloody name, coward.
who designed that stupid little cap the guy at 1:56 is wearing! It looks and must have been ridiculous to wear!
A standard issue forage cap.
What is your problem?

Reply How is it appropriate for foraging? It looks the most useless piece of headgear ever worn.

@@rosewhite--- The cap unrolls once, to form ear-warmers, and again to form a cloth bucket.
It is VERY handy.
