For forty years, NATO and Soviet Naval forces patrolled the world's oceans. Retired Tornado driver and author Michael Napier joins us to discuss his latest book, Over Cold War Seas: NATO and Soviet Naval Aviation, 1949-1989, which looks at the four-decade duel for control of the world's sea lanes and the aircraft that flew above them looking for what lurked above and beneath the waves.
