Constant Endeavour – RAF Coastal Command is an original audio history drawn from the Aviation Xtended podcast series, exploring the aircraft, operations and aircrews of one of the RAF’s most overlooked commands. Across eighteen chapters, historians, authors, veterans and preservationists trace the story from the Battle of the Atlantic and anti-shipping strike wings in World War Two through to Cold War Shackletons and Nimrods hunting submarines over a very different ocean. Guided by host Pieter Johnson, the book moves from high-level context to the lived experience of flying long, hazardous missions over sea. Listeners will hear about Ansons, Wellingtons, Sunderlands, Beaufighters, Liberators, Shackletons and Nimrods; about Kiwi, Australian and Allied crews; and about the collaboration with the Fleet Air Arm and key air stations such as RAF Thorney Island. Along the way, the guests illuminate tactics, technology, and the human stories behind an air war that rarely makes the headlines. This is not a complete history but a curated collection of expert interviews and personal recollections that together pay tribute to Coastal Command’s “Cinderella service” and its constant endeavour over the sea. Ideal for listeners interested in aviation, maritime warfare, and the people who flew the long watch. This book is dedicated to those who served with RAF Coastal Command and the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm and is based on an original concept of how these air arms came together to face the axis threat in in World War Two.
