BRITISH DESTROYERS & FRIGATES: The Second World War and After

Lot # 31      

Very good condition, hardcover. "Since World War II the old categories of destroyer and frigate have tended to merge, a process that author Norman Friedman traces back to...more the radically different Tribal-class destroyers of 1936. This volume covers the development of all the modern destroyer classes that fought in the war. It looks at the emergency programs that produced vast numbers of trade protection vessels--sloops, corvettes, and frigates--and analyzes the pressures that shaped the post-war fleet and, until recently, dominated design."

Frigates of the ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY: 1943-1974

Lot # 32      

Very good condition, hardcover. "It is extraordinary that one seldom hears of the finest anti-submarine vessels built in Canada during the entire Second World War: frigat...morees. Frigates, initially dubbed "twin-screw corvettes" were designed by William Reed of Smith's Dock company. They were to prove their worth as ocean escorts and were important contributors to victory over the U-boats. Perhaps because of their late arrival on the scene, wartime photographs of frigates are now scarce. The purpose of this book is to reproduce more than one illustration of each ship, especially those that were rebuilt to "Prestonian class" configuration after the war."

These Splendid Ships; The Story of the Peninsular & Oriental Line by David Divine (1960)

Lot # 40      

These Splendid Ships; The Story of the Peninsular & Oriental Line by David Divine, Published by Frederick Muller Limited, London (1960) Good condition in good dust jack...moreet. For 150 years P & O has been one of the world's greatest shipping lines. Beginning with the mail contract to Gibraltar, P & O quickly became the natural way for generations of English men and women to travel to India and the Far East. In wartime, P & O's service and sacrifice was vital to Britain's survival. In two world wars and in the Falkland's conflict P & O ships and their crews endured with unexampled courage contributing to eventual victory. Today, P & O is a modern internationally based company with wide ranging interests; it faces the future with pride in its past and confidence in its ability to rise to new challenges. P & O's quartered blazon is now as familiar inland as it ever was on the sea lanes. The naval historians, David and Stephen Howarth, tell vividly an exciting story of the birth and development of one of Britain's greatest companies. Illustrated. 224 pages.
