BRITISH AIRCRAFT CARRIERS: DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICE HISTORIES

摘要

British Aircraft Carriers is a magnificent book which provides a concisely written and well-illustrated compendium of the warships that have maintained their status as the world's capital ships for over 75 years. It is a large work (489 × 465mm) with 384 pages of detail including appendices, bibliography, glossary and index. There are many illustrations, suitably positioned with accurate captions, but the colour Admiralty drawings reproduced in the centre of the book are amazing. For anyone wishing to see framed original 1948 drawings for HMAS Sydney (Ⅲ) you need to check out the walls of the RAN's Centre for Maritime Engineering (CME) in Pitt Street, Sydney.
