British destroyers A-I and Tribal classes / text by Les Brown ; plans and colour artwork by George Richardson.

"This is the latest in a series that provides ship modellers with all they need to know about a famous class or type of warship and associated model kits. This volume covers the inter-war destroyers of the Royal Navy, from the post World War I prototypes Amazon and Ambuscade, through the nine basically similar but incrementally improved classes, to the radically different and far more powerful 'Tribal' class design of1936. Forming the backbone of the British and Canadian flotillas, these ships include some of the most famous names in destroyer history - Cossack, Glowworm, Hardy, Ardent and Acasta, to name only a few. With its unparalleled level of visual information - paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs - it is simply the best reference for any modelmaker setting out to build one of these dashing little ships."--Provided by the publisher.
