A Rare Collection of Second World War Naval Books
These five volumes will be of interest to anyone with a keen understanding of the Second World War, informative, historical and displaying a wide variety of facts and detail. The books are:- Ships of the Royal Navies Published in by Oscar Parkes, this includes a series of black and white photographs with description of British Commonwealth of Nations naval vessels. These vessels no longer exist, so this book alone has much history attached to it. The Naval Engineer and the Command of the Sea by Francis G Burton (no date but I suspect late 40's early50's). A story of naval administration through the war years. Manual of Seamanship Vol 1 and 2. By Authority of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Every detail of seamanship from reading flags, Sound Signals, Towing, Dealing with Minesweepers and so on. Published and . History of the Second world War Volume 2, by H C O'Neill with contributions from the renown Milton Shuman, published in .A country bu country account of how some fell, how the Allies fared, the German approach and much much more.
