Handbook of the Fleet / Navy 1939
Gilt on blue cloth, ship lists of all the major powers.
Very rare pre-WWII German handbook of the Fleet with photographs of all known naval shipping worldwide. It also gives other essential data like displacement - tonnage, speed in knots, armaments, armour and depth of keel for any identified target - without which a torpedo firing solution could not be calculated.
An important book used on all German ships and Submarine U-Boats. Depicted are Destroyer, Cruiser, Battleships, U-Boat, Minesweeper, aircraft carrier, oil tanker and all the other.
This pre-war volume has been published in a very limited number of only 12,000 copies, thus it's much rarer than the wartime volumes. |
