Indepth study of British Aircraft Carriers. Major contribution to naval literature. Photographs from private sources.
The first part of a 2 part series, that looks nostalgically but factually at the nature of the developments that saw that modernisation of Victoria’s Fleet. The period covered is 1830 to 1870 with four specific subjects, technological development, new tyoe of professional sailor, The Royal Family’s Interest and an account of sea power in action at the time.
Second part of the series continuing the story showing how many difference experimental designs culminated in one, fleet, and how that fleet, in turn, was superceded by the advent of HMS Dreadnought. Above all the book concentrates on people, men who served, and who fought in various campaigns.
