THE ROYAL NAVY IN WORLD WAR II by Robert Jackson Hitler's fear of the Royal Navy kept his most lethal ships hidden in bolt-holes, although the Kriegsmarine most probably would have won through superior ships and guns had they confronted their enemy. It was the dogged determination of British seafarers throughout the early part of the war that caused the final demise of the German big-ship fleet and left the U-boat and E-boat to fight Hitler's war at sea. This is the story of how the RN helped Britain survive during the critical times of the Battle of the Atlantic, the Siege of Malta, the convoys to northern Russia and the D-Day landings.1997, Airlife Publishing, , 185310714X,< N-01>,176pp, 170 photos, Very good in d/w, , Subject...Naval & Maritime: Ships, Submarines & Other Vessels - GeneralWeb No. 26924-01..............................£8.00 |

X-CRAFT VERSUS TIRPITZ: THE MYSTERY OF MISSING X5 by Alf. R Jacobsen On 22 September 1943, six X-craft midget submarines set out from Scotland to sink the battleship at anchor in Norway. Only X5, X6 and X7 reached the target. Lt Donald Cameron in X6 and Lt Godfrey Place in X7 placed their charges successfully, but were forced to surrender. Both were awarded the Victoria Cross.

THE BRITISH BATTLE-FLEET: ITS INCEPTION AND GROWTH THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES by Fred T Jane Published by Conway Classics with an introduction by Antony Preston. Originally published in 1912, when the naval arms race with Germany was nearing its climax, this title is read as much for its views on the future of naval warfare as its detailed statistics. It fully covers British naval history, from Alfred the Great to the "Dreadnought" era. The author is regarded the father of modern naval journalism. He produced his first reference book in 1882 at the time of the Royal Navy's bombardment of Alexandria, a collection of his own pen-and-ink sketches informed the public about the ships taking part. 2007, Conway, , 0851777236,< N-01>,405pp illustrations, Dustjacket slightly damaged, small piece missing.
