Chamber Divers

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

A disastrous landing at Dieppe two years before D-Day saw thousands of Allied soldiers killed and made clear that future beach invasions would require information about the location of enemy guns, details of the terrain, and the ability to approach underwater. Using recently declassified documents, this volume reveals how a group of submarine scientists led by JBS Haldane and Helen Spurway carried out pioneering research into diving, contributing to later military success.
