British Sailor Firing an Anti Aircraft Gun in Norwegian Coastal Waters, 1940. 'Allied sea power fought it out with German air power...the Royal Navy bore a defeated Allied Expeditionary Force across the North Sea to Britain, and in the crossing learned, yet again, that sea power alone is not enough. To outwit the Stukas [ie German planes], "hard a'port, and then hard a'starboard", hour upon hour, twisting and turning for dear life'. From "Time To Remember - Run Rabbit Run", 1940 ( Reel 1); documentary film about events of early months of 1940.
