The White Sea-Bird (1979) By David Beaty
 
A battle of nerves between a British squadron-leader and a German sea-captain.

Deep in a Norwegian fjord hides the German merchant cruiser Groningen. Squadron-leader Guy Strickland knows he has spotted it, but Intelligence refuses to believe him. He leads his exhausted squadron into the air again to take the vital photographic evidence - but only his plane returns.
A maverick and brilliant flyer, Strickland becomes obsessed with the Groningen and so begins a grim and bitter struggle to the death between the plane and the ship...

This thrilling wartime action story by a master storyteller of drama in the air vibrates with tension to the final page.
