E-211: Naval Institute Press. Very Good. 1989. Hardcover. Hardcover. 4to. Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 1989. 384 pgs. Illustrated. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks.

I thought the most interesting chapters, though, were: Chapter 9 "Trade Protection" describing the escort carriers (including the American lend-lease transfers) ; Chapter 11 "Emergency Fleet Carriers" describing the development of the "Majestic" and "Colossus" class ships; Chapter 12 "The Last Carriers" describing the 1942 "Ark Royal / Audacious" and…
