When the navy took to the air : the experimental seaplane stations of the Royal Naval Air Service /Philip "During the years leading up to the First World War, the Royal Navy was at the forefront of change in the field of aviation. When conflict broke out, military aircraft were now needed to defend the fleet, participate in tactical air strikes in enemy territory, and secure Britain against Zeppelin raiders. Presented with a totally new and revolutionary weapon in the aeroplane, the work of several experiemntal airfields and seaplane stations became crucial to the success of these operations. Flexistowe and the Isle of Grain took the lead role in developing new aircraft and aerial weaponry, as well as making ground-breaking advances in navigational systems, air-to-ground radio communication, and deck-board ship landings. Having assembled an elite group of aviation experts and hotshot pilots, these air stations made a vital contribution to the outcome of the war as theyw itnessed the enormous cost, both economic and human, to complete this necessary advance in the fight against enemy forces. This book examines the importance of the Royal Naval Air Service, with first-hand quotes from the pilots and technical pioneers who made such bold leaps forward in thise xperimental era of naval aviation, and detailed coverage of the various successes and failures that these brave and ambitious servicemen faced. When the Navy Took to the Air is the untold story of how, under the pressure of war, the British Navy pushed aviation to the limit."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.4/4941

Apprentice to the red ensign : A personal recollection of life in the British Merchant Navy of the 1940s "This book is a first hand account of life in the Merchant Navy as it was in the latter part of the 1940s, just after the end of World War Two. It tells of the ships that made up the huge British merchant fleet and of the men who served in them, as remembered by the author, who was one of them. The author grew up in the Berkshire countryside, far from the sea, but was educated at what was then Pangbourne Nautical College, where he learnt the rudiments of seamanship and 'how to do things smartly, at the double' - also developing a strong feeling about being of service to the Empire. He left Pangbourne aged just seventeen and went straight to sea, joining the Ellerman and Bucknell Steamship Company as a cadet, always known aboard ship as an 'apprentice'. He served in three of the Company's ships and one Royal Fleet Auxiliary store ship, which the Company manned; these being the City of Carlisle, the City of Rochester, the City of London and the RFA Fort Constantine, in all making six voyages and visiting ports in many parts of the World. In those days the Merchant Navy was the vital link, connecting the various parts of the vast British Empire, providing the means by which the lifeblood of trade could flow, and the Empire's people travel. Among those who manned the ships a strict pecking order existed, which held discipline together. A junior apprentice started as the very lowest of the low, slowly progressing to become a trusted member of the ship's company. The British Merchant Navy as it was in those times has long since disappeared. The Red Ensign is no longer flown by a great percentage of ships at sea, 'flags of convenience' are the order of the day and very few crews are British. Because it describes a way of life which has now vanished into history, this book is sure to be of interest to all those who remember life as it used to be under the 'Red Duster'."--Provided by the publisher. 2005. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92HOLMES
Kongo-Class Battleships : in the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II /Lars Ahlberg and Hans Lengerer "The battleships of the Kongo-class were the oldest, smallest, and fastest battleships in the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII. Initially classified as battle cruisers, the lead ship in the class, Kongo, was built in England just prior to WWI. The remaining three ships in the class - Haruna, Kirishima, and Hiei - were all built and completed in Japan by 1915. All four ships were highly reconfigured in the 1920s, and they were reclassified as battleships in the 1930s. The four Kongo-class ships were the most active among the 12 WWII-era Japanese battleships and saw heavy combat throughout the war in such major campaigns as Pearl Harbor, Midway, Guadalcanal, and Leyte. All four ships were sunk by Allied forces by wars end. This book features rare Japanese primary source material, including numerous photos, line schemes, and detailed charts."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available.
