Britain's Royal Navy squadrons went to war equipped with the Fairey Swordfish. A biplane torpedo bomber in an age of monoplanes, the Swordfish was underpowered and undergunned; an obsolete museum piece, an embarrassment. Its crews fully expected to be shot from the skies. Instead, they flew the ancient \"Stringbag\" into legend. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriter Garth Ennis ( \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreacher\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Boys\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWar Stories\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) and artist PJ Holden ( \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBattlefields\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorld of Tanks: Citadel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) present the story of the men who crewed the Swordfish: from their triumphs against the Italian Fleet at Taranto and the mighty German battleship Bismarck in the Atlantic, to the deadly challenge of the Channel Dash in the bleak winter waters of their homeland.
