Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper.
Revised edition. Battlecruisers combined heavy guns and high speed in the largest hulls of their era. Conceived as 'super-cruisers' to hunt down and destroy commerce raiders, their size and gun-power led to their inclusion in the battlefleet as a fast squadron of capital ships. This book traces in detail the development of the first battlecruiser Invincible of 1908, through to the 'Splendid Cats' of the Lion class, and culminating in HMS Hood in 1920, the largest warship in the world for the next twenty years. The origins of the unusual 'light battlecruisers' of the Courageous type are also covered. Large format. Olive green boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and diagrams throughout, the centre pages are colour plans. Large plan of HMS Queen Mary 1913 contained in envelope at back of book. ISBN: 9781473882355. Top and tail of spine lightly shelf-worn else a lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed to rear panel. Folding plans present.
