Operation Tidal Wave Mug

Fuel Up for the Fight – Operation Tidal Wave Style

Stand by for take-off! This mug doesn’t just hold your brew—it commemorates one of the most daring, dangerous, and downright audacious missions of the Second World War: Operation Tidal Wave, the low-level bombing raid on the oil fields of Ploiești in 1943. Big risks. Big bravery. Big mugs.

So whether you're sipping coffee, tea, or a morale-boosting tot of something stronger, you’ll be doing it from a mug that packs just as much punch as a B-24 Liberator on a Sunday morning strike.

With a crisp, vivid design that survives microwaves, dishwashers, and even metaphorical flak, this ceramic stunner is essential gear for any desk, mess, or war room.

• Ceramic – sturdy enough for a crash landing
• Comes in three sizes to suit your operational requirements:
– 11 oz: standard briefing brew
– 15 oz: medium-range sortie
– 20 oz: full strategic bombardment
• Glossy finish – like your best parade boots
• Lead and BPA-free – because you're not drinking out of a jerry can
• Dishwasher and microwave safe – this mug takes orders and doesn’t answer back
• Sourced from China – battle-tested and dependable

So go on—pour yourself a drink and raise a toast to the aircrews who flew into hell and back. This mug’s for them. And for you, obviously.

A Bit About the Mug

Al Murray: Now, let’s talk about the Mug itself—this isn’t some cheap knockoff; it’s print-on-demand, which means no wasted stock sitting in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust. Instead, every unit is printed just for you, which is a win for both history lovers and the planet.

James Holland: Absolutely. But, and this is important—check your size before you order. We don’t want loads of returns bouncing around, adding to unnecessary emissions. Pick the right fit, wear it with pride, and show the world you know your history.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
