This article considers the published writings of aircrew from RAF Coastal Command who served during the Second World War. While there has been extensive discussion about how the war was presented by flyers from other RAF commands, the accounts of the men who fought the maritime air war have received scant attention. This article shows how the war that these men remember was shaped by factors unique to their service. Coastal Command crews clearly perceived their war as important and there is a strong sense of both the morality and necessity of their role. They form their own sub-genre within the canon of aircrew memoirs, which allows the reader to gain an important insight into the way in which this neglected, but vital, part of the air war was experienced and remembered by the men who fought it.

被遗忘的回忆录:英国皇家空军海岸司令部机组人员记忆中的第二次世界大战

本文考虑了在第二次世界大战期间服役的英国皇家空军海岸司令部机组人员的已发表著作。虽然已经就英国皇家空军其他司令部的传单如何呈现这场战争进行了广泛的讨论,但对参加海上空战的人员的描述却很少受到关注。这篇文章展示了这些人记忆中的战争是如何受到他们服役的独特因素影响的。海岸司令部的船员清楚地认为他们的战争很重要,并且他们的角色的道德和必要性都有强烈的感觉。它们在机组人员回忆录的经典中形成了自己的子类型,这使读者能够深入了解空战中这一被忽视但至关重要的部分是如何被参与战斗的人体验和记住的。
