Warship Monographs. Monograph One. Detailed account of the design, construction and service of the world's first battlecruisers. The brainchild of Lord Fisher, the three vessels of this class - Indomitable, Inflexible and Invincible - combined the speed of a cruiser and the gunpower of a Dreadnought, and were the fastest capital ships of their era. Scarce, especially in this condition.
