"Engineers of Victory" is a new account of how the tide was turned against the Nazis by the Allies in the Second World War, the focus being on the problem-solvers: Major-General Perry Hobart, who invented the "funny tanks" which flattened the curve on the D-Day beaches; Flight Lieutenant Ronnie Harker "the man who put the Merlin in the Mustang"; and Captain "Johnny" Walker, the convoy captain who worked out how to sink U-boats with a "creeping barrage"....

Describes the various types of craft used in a typical beach assault operation including escort carriers, assault ships, helicopters, submarines and tanks. Also discusses new technological developments in amphibious warfare.

Naval amphibious warfare training and operations in the Second World war told by the ones who know it best - the veterans.
