Hello,
All is going to plan with this written testament to Unbeaten and her crew. The book now has its own ISBN numbers both for the eBook version and possible paperback edition. Due to questions regarding the book coming out in a paper copy, it is intended to have a printed run produced as soon as financially possible. This will happen after the initial eBook release. As you may know I am self publishing and trying not to let the costs run away.
 The final three chapters are being written during many late nights. These chapters are being packed with exclusive information about the submarines last operation. I have also researched what happened to several key players, from the book, who survived the war. There will be a section dedicated to explaining what happened to these men post World War II. I have collected several never seen before photographs which I believe make this book stand out from other books of this genre.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to submit at the ‘Author & Contact Page’.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

David J.B. Smith

The month of September 1941 arrived at a very poignant juncture for Unbeaten and the band of Malta-based submarines. It was at the beginning of this month that the boats of the 1st Flotilla became the famous 10th Submarine Flotilla. Around the same time in September 1941, the bomb-damaged, makeshift submarine base at Manoel Island, set up in the confines of the old Lazaretto, was officially commissioned as HMS Talbot. The buildings had been adapted, with accommodation and workshops having been built; the whole area was a hive of activity. The average time spent at Malta between patrols was said to be seven to ten days, but it was often much less.
