The Allied Convoy System, 1939-1945: Its Organization, Defence and Operation

208 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos. "This remarkable reference work fills a significant gap in the literature of the Second World War and is an essential work for all those with an interest in how the war was won on the lonely wastes of the world's oceans. Includes descriptions and illustrations of escorts, escort oilers, rescue ships, salvage tugs, and escort aircraft carriers - the tactics and weapons of the U-boat war are explained, and a huge appendix lists every North Atlantic-related convoy, with sailing and arrival dates, points of departure and arrival, number of vessels involved and number lost. There is also an invaluable index of ships lost." - from dust jacket. Slight lean to spine. Lightest wear to book and dust jacket which is now preserved in a glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. A lovely copy.
