Edward Bishop was the author of a series of popular historical books on the Royal Air Force. A Fleet Street journalist with an engaging shrewdness wrote The Wooden Wonder (1959), the story of the Mosquito, which had been dismissed as a hopeless anachronism by the air establishment because it had a wooden frame. The book's greatest admirer was Lord Beaverbrook, the newspaper proprietor. On hearing that Bishop was working next on the Battle of Britain he immediately summoned him to his penthouse flat at midnight. "Sit down on that sofa where many great men have sat," said "The Beaver". "Who?" asked his bemused guest. "Lloyd George, Churchill . . . and now Edward Bishop," came the reply. Beaverbrook, who had been Minister of Aircraft Production when the German invasion was threatened, offered Bishop a wide range of contacts; and later he paid the then large sum of £4,000 for the rights to serialize The Battle of Britain. Again and again the British fighters tore into the huge formations of heavily escorted German bombers. Six Hurricanes against seventy Dorniers; twelve Spitfires against one hundred Heinkels. It was summer, 1940, and "The Few," a dwindling, gallant company of Royal Air Force fighter pilots, were all that stood between Britain and defeat. More

From there he attended Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and after graduating in 1923, chose to serve in submarines. By this time, his talent as a cartoonist and wag was well established. In 1938, he attended a staff course at the Royal Naval College at Greenwich. Broome was judged to be too old in 1939 to command a submarine in wartime. in June 1942, his Escort Group 1 was assigned to protect Convoy PQ 17, sailing from Hvalfjord in Iceland to Murmansk. The Arctic convoys were reckoned to be very hazardous missions, as they faced not only U-Boats but also German aircraft and surface ships, including the powerful battleship Tirpitz. Under attack, Admiral Dudley Pound, the First Sea Lord, order the convoy to scatter. Twenty-one of the convoy's thirty-five ships were sunk following the order. After the Second World War, he became a writer and illustrator. More
