Edward, the Black Prince, is one of the legendary figures of
English history. The first son of Edward III and an outstanding
military leader, he is famous for his decisive victory at the
Battle of Poitiers, and he is one of the most charismatic
characters of the Hundred Years' War. This classic study focuses
on his daring campaign against the French in central and
south western France in 1355-7. This is one of the key texts on
the Prince, and it will be fascinating reading for anyone who is
interested in medieval warfare.
Previously published in 1989 under the title 'British River
Gunboats', this is a photographic survey mainly covering the
famous Insect class which was built for service on the Danube in
1915. They served for a further thirty years in various theatres,
including in the Middle East on the Tigris, and during World War
II in the Mediterranean and Egypt. Also portrays the tiny Fly
class, the Peterel class, the various types which served in the
Yangtse River in China, and the Dragonflies, the last of the Royal
Navy's river gunboats.
