Unfortunate choice of title though:
Quote:

The title Whispering Death was the name given by the Germans to the Beaufighter

Err, no it wasn't - the name has usually, and erroneously, been attributed to the Beau being called that by the Japanese, but in fact was a propaganda name created by a RAF man who
claimed that this is what the Japanese called it.
But the book looks very interesting - there is a mention of Heide in The Armed Rovers (which is an overall history of the Beaus in the Med). Damn, another book on the list. Cheers Andy. People can have a look inside the book on Amazon:
