Submarines against the Japs - A Testament to British Valor in the Far East, 1944
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the British Submarine Service in the Far East played a pivotal role in turning the tide against the Japanese forces. This double-page spread from The Sphere, published in 1944, offers a captivating glimpse into the clandestine world of these underwater warriors. On the left-hand page, an intriguing scene unfolds as a British submarine prepares for action. A torpedo is being loaded through a special hatch on the deck, its menacing shape a harbinger of destruction for the Japanese fleet. The conning tower, the nerve center of the submarine, is shown in an aerial view, revealing the intricate details of this marvel of engineering. The adjacent page is a dramatic depiction of a daring rescue at Sabang in Sumatra, drawn by the renowned war artist Montague Dawson. Amidst the chaos of a Japanese bombardment, a British submarine surfaces, its crew bravely rescuing a crashed Allied fighter pilot from the clutches of the enemy. The pilot, clinging to the submarine's hull, is shown being pulled aboard just in time, as Japanese bullets whizz by. These images serve as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the British submariners in the Far East during World War II. Their unwavering commitment to the cause, despite the immense danger, played a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory.
