George V Class Battleships V.E. Tarrant . Cassell Military;
ISBN: 1854095242 |
 |
The
five battleships of this class - "Anson", "Duke of York", "Howe",
"King George V" and "The Prince of Wales" - are the stuff of legends. Their
war was active, their tasks demanding, their success was outstanding. This
study details the design, engines, armour and armament of the class, and
the strategic thinking behind their deployment. There is a full service
history of each ship, including
eyewitness on-board
accounts and battle photographs. Main engagements are highlighted with
detailed battle maps and the author captures the war at sea between capital
ships. Covers such important events as the sinking of the Hood and Bismarck,
Scharnhorst and the sinking of the Prince of Wales and Repulse

| American
& British Aircraft Carrier Development, 1919-1941. By Thomas C. Hone,
Norman Friedman, Mark David Mandeles. United States Naval Institute; ISBN:
1557503826. |
 |
Focusing
on the critical years between the two world wars, the authors trace the
personal, organizational, and institutional elements that moved the U.S.
and British navies along different paths of aircraft carrier development
and operations. In a direct, almost conversational tone they draw on years
of research to explain why and how the Royal Navy lost its once considerable
lead in carrier doctrine and carrier aircraft development to the Americans.
