Illustrated throughout with photographs, diagrams and folding maps and plans. Presentation copy from the author: 'To J. H. Owen with grateful thanks for your help from Roger Keyes Nov. 1935'. Owen is mentioned in the author's note to this volume: 'I have also to thank Commander J. H. Owen for having carefully indexed this Volume and for having helped to correct the proofs'. Owen has added occasional further very neat corrections to this volume in pencil. Owen had entered the Royal Navy in 1907 as a Midshipman at the age of 15. He became a Submarine Commander during WWI operating in the North Sea and with the Italians in the Adriatic against the Austrians from 1916-1918. His papers are held in Cambridge University and include much correspondence from Keyes and indeed from Winston Churchill as at this time he was working as a Naval Historical Adviser to him. Binding nice and tight and bright with only very slight creasing. Pages and plates very nice and clean with only very slight foxing. A near fine, tight, bright, clean copy.
