THE BRITISH CARRIER STRIKE FLEET AFTER 1945

by David Hobbs

Published by Seaforth Publishing. 1st thus. 2020

Nearly fine condition. In 1945 the most powerful fleet in the Royal Navy's history was centred on nine aircraft carriers. This book charts the post-war fortunes of this potent striking force - its decline in the face of diminishing resouces, it final fall at the hands of uncomprehending politicians, and its recent resurrection in the form of the Queen Elizabeth class carriers, the larges ships ever built for the Royal Navy. Pictorial cardwraps. B/w photos. xvii and 622 pages including index.

A lovely copy, looks unread!
