Price: £42.00
8vo., Second and Best Edition, with a frontispiece, very numerous photographs in the text and endpapers plans; navy blue cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper.
Revised and expanded reissue of the original edition of 1988. The first dedicated study of this class, the acquisition of which proved an invaluable boost to a hard-pressed Admiralty at a crucial period. Good selection of photographs of virtually every vessel balances the enormous publicity accrued elsewhere by HMS Campbeltown following the St. Nazaire raid. Scarce.
