A propos de cet article

16 vols., sm. 8vo., with very numerous photographs, diagrams, maps and charts throughout; cloth, backstrips lettered in silver, all very good to near fine copies in dustwrapper, one or two dustwrappers lightly sunned at backstrip. The final and by far the scarcest volume of the series is the US edition. Ian Allan's acclaimed 'Sea Battles in Close-Up' series, launched in 1970 and continued through to 1976, constitutes a landmark in British naval publishing. Compiled by a carefully selected cadre of authors, many of whom have since developed reputations as naval historians of international standing, the 16 volumes are uniformly praised for their accuracy and detail; certainly their relatively small physical size wholly belies their value and importance to scholar and historian alike. The set comprises 1. Watts (A.J). Loss of the Scharnhorst; 2. Pack (S.W.C). Night Action off Cape Matapan; 3. Schofield (B.B). Loss of the Bismarck; 4. Bennett (G). Battle of the River Plate; 5. Pack (S.W.C). The Battle for Crete; 6. Schofield (B.B). The Attack on Taranto; 7. Bennett (G). The Loss of the Prince of Wales & Repulse; 8. Frere-Cook (G). The Attacks on the Tirpitz; 9. Dickens (P). Narvik. Battles in the Fjords; 10. Schofield (B.B). Operation Neptune; 11. SMITH (P.C) and E. Walker. The Battles of the Malta Striking Forces; 12. Millot (B.A). The Battle of the Coral Sea; 13. Dickson (W.D). The Battle of the Philippine Sea; 14. Kemp (P). Escape of the Scharnhorst & Gneisenau; 15. Pack (S.W.C). The Battle of Sirte; 16. Van Oosten (F.C). The Battle of the Java Sea. Law: 0521 (1); 0299 (2); 0253 (3); 0103 (4); 0325 (5); 0303 (6); 0395 (7); 1675 (8); 0125 (9); 0590 (10); 0353 (11); 0422 (12); 0494 (14); 0295 (15); 0415 (16). ALL VOLUMES ARE SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION; some titles (notably Narvik and Java Sea) remarkably elusive. COMPLETE SETS ARE SELDOM AVAILABLE FOR SALE. An outstanding opportunity to acquire a complete set of titles of considerable importance in the history of the Royal Navy in WWII.…
