19988vo., First Edition, with numerous photographs in the text; original photographic wrappers, a fine copy. With their enormous cargo capacities the contribution of the Empire Food Ships in the relentless struggle to sustain the supply of food to the Home Front was especially important. Many of these vessels were involved in the most famous convoys; three out of five were lost in PEDESTAL alone. Includes a detailed fleet list of vessels built between 1934 and 1948. Scarce.
20074to., First Edition, with 11 coloured plans (8 double-page), 4 full-page diagrams and several illustrations and charts in the text; pictorial boards lettered in white, a fine copy. Naval Staff Histories were produced after WWII in order to provide as full an account of the various actions as was possible at the time. The audience was largely serving officers; some of the volumes were classified, not to restrict their distribution but to allow the writers to be as candid as possible. At this stage of history they represent a uniquely valuable resource. This volume contains Battle Summary 18 (Mediterranean Convoys 1941) and Battle Summary 32 (Malta Convoys 1942), completed by J. Owen and originally issued in 1944 and 1945 respectively. These summaries were combined and extensively revised by Pitcairn-Jones and re-issued in 1957 as Selected Convoys (Mediterranean) 1941-42. By this time Pitcairn-Jones had access to the full records including those captured from German and Italian forces.
19978vo., with 12 plates on 8; original pictorial wrappers, a fine copy. Much-needed, good quality paperback re-issue of the original Harrap edition of 1957. The best early account, with some rare photographs, of the harassment of Germany's North African supply route. During the bitter sixteenth-month struggle half the Axis shipping was sunk, but half the submarines (largely from the legendary 10th Flotilla) failed to return
1944Sm. 8vo., First Edition; cloth, a very good, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly chipped at edges with very minor loss at head of backstrip. The author's fourth novel of the war and uncommon in this condition
19798vo., First Edition, with 53 plates on 16 and 4 maps in the text; cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy in the dustwrapper. First-hand account marred by irritating printing errors. The four 'C'-class AA cruisers fought hard from the outset (Norway, Dunkirk, Malta, Greece); all were sunk through enemy action by October 1942. They were manned partly by reservists from London Division RNR whose story shines through. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.61; Law, 1016
19798vo., First Edition, with 53 plates on 16 and 4 maps in the text, top and fore-edge very lightly age-marked; navy cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper. A PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR WITH HIS SIGNED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. With a small trade stamp on front paste-down. First-hand account marred by irritating printing errors. The four 'C' AA cruisers fought hard from the outset (Norway, Dunkirk, Malta, Greece); all were sunk through enemy action by October 1942. They were manned partly by reservists from London Division RNR whose story shines through. SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.61; Law, 1016
20108vo., First Edition, with numerous plates and 4 full-page maps in the text; black cloth, gilt back, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. The latest monograph on U-class submarines operating from Malta. One of the most successful Allied submarine commanders of WWII, George Hunt commanded ULTOR during no fewer than fifteen missions, sinking a total of 28 enemy vessels and damaging a further four. He ended his career as post-war SNO West Indies.
19808vo., First Edition, with illustrated title-spread, very numerous photographs in the text and pictorial front and rear endpapers; brown cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in price-clipped dustwrapper.
19858vo., First Edition, with 31 plates on 12 and 2 full-page maps in the text; cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a very good, bright, clean copy in the dustwrapper, the latter sunned as usual as backstrip. Vividly written biography of one of the hardest worked RN cruisers of WWII. Covers her service and crippling in Norway (where the author served aboard her) followed by the Mediterranean where she won many battle honours (notably with Force K). Her nickname stems from a fifteen-day period in Malta during which she survived 2,000 sorties by Axis bombers which dropped 3,000 tons of bombs and 14 torpedoes. Certainly one of the scarcest of all individual ship accounts of the RN in WWII. The Chivers re-issue of 1986 is also remarkably hard to find. Enser, p.61; Law, 1020.
19548vo., First Edition; cloth, a very good, clean copy in the dustwrapper, the latter lightly creased and frayed at extremities. The author's own account of the ignominious end to his outstanding career as a submarine commander (most notably UNBROKEN), brought about by disillusionment with the Admiralty and finalised by a court-martial on a technicality.
19588vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece, 26 plates on 14, 5 illustrations and maps in the text, and endpaper diagrams; green cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy in worn and frayed dustwrapper. Well-written investigative account, by an established team, of the dramatic story of THETIS, lost on trials in Liverpool Bay in 1939 with the loss of ninety-nine lives. She was salved, renamed THUNDERBOLT, and served with distinction in the Mediterranean until her final loss with all hands in 1943. Increasingly elusive in this condition. Enser, p.419; Law, 1139.
