THE DESTROYER CAMPBELTOWN (ANATOMY OF THE SHIP)

by Al Ross

Published by Conway Maritime Press. 1st. 1990

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The destroyer Campbeltown is not only famous for her part in the commando raid on the St Nazaire drydock in 1942, but is also representative of an important type. Built as the USS Buchanan (DD131), she was one of over 270 flush-decked destroyers put into service towards the end of World War I. A complete anatomy of the ship in words, photographs and drawings. Oblong format. Grey cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and drawings. 127 pages.

A lovely copy!
