Description
4to., First Edition, with frontispiece, very numerous photographs in the text and large folding plan at end; original pictorial wrappers, a near fine copy. The first dedicated study of this class, the acquisition of which proved an invaluable boost to a hard-pressed Admiralty at a crucial period. Good selection of photographs of virtually every vessel balances the enormous publicity accrued elsewhere by HMS CAMPBLETOWN following the St. Nazaire raid.
