Description
Appears unread. No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 256pp. An in-depth study of frigates in the Second World War, why the River-class became necessary, the key people involved in its design and the pressures and time constraints under which the plans were developed. With much personal insight into wartime ship construction from the author, who highlights the Hedgehog, depth charges and minesweeping gear and Asdic.
