II with a small tear (2cm). - Vol. I: By 1914, the starting point for Jane's Fighting Ships of World War I, Fred T. Jane's annual volumes of Jane's Fighting Ships had become the world's greatest naval reference work, accepted everywhere as the symbol of accuracy and authority. Without breaching security or confidences, it was an essential source of information (as it is to this day) for all concerned with naval affairs. It shows the diversity of naval thought, design and application and reveals the fundamental changes taking place in construction, propul- sion and gunnery. Also, it records the two completely new elements in the naval equa- tion, the submarine and the aircraft which, by the end of the war were becoming integrated into what is now known as C3 (Command, Control and Communications).This extraordinary one-volume encyclopedia of World War I warships includes photo- graphs, line drawings and data tables, provid- ing the reader with instant reference to the great fleets that clashed at sea. This volume covers the many warships launched or completed during the last months of hostilities when shipyards were still working at full speed. For this new edition, the book has been completely redesigned in a larger and easier-to-handle format, and the addenda and amendments of the original editions have been integrated into their appropriate places.Comparison of the eight great fleets of 1914, those of Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, France, Italy, Austro-Hungary and Russia reveals many similarities. The battleships were the centre of all plans and the change in the design of these huge ships which followed the arrival of HMS Dread- nought on the scene in 1906 is most notable. Increasingly large calibre guns were mounted at the expense of the profusion of smaller weapons in previous designs. The aim at that time was simple: to provide the heaviest broadside possible at the greatest range attainable. Another major development recorded in these pages is the building of aircraft carriers, first by adaptation and then, in the closing stages of the war, from the keel up. Learning was swift and frequently painful, but naval warfare would never be the same again.Jane's Fighting Ships of World War I is a volume for anyone interested in nautical history and in the history of World War I. / Vol.II: More than 6,000 warships are in this compre- hensive encyclopedia of the world's navies during the Second World War. Compiled from the pages of contemporary editions of Jane's, the world's most authori- tative naval reference work, this extra- ordinary volume presents photographs, line drawings, and data tables, providing the reader with instant reference to the facts and figures of the great fleets that clashed at Leyte Gulf, Midway, Matapan, and the many other naval battles that took place on the oceans and seas around the world. The information and data are presented in the exciting and graphic style that has made Jane's the ultimate naval reference. For this new edition, the book has been completely redesigned in a larger and easier-to-handle format, and the addenda and amendments of the original editions have been integrated into their appropriate places in the text.The material covered in the volume is more complete than in any previous edition or reprint of Jane's: ships that were lost during the war such as the Bismarck, Hood, Lexing- ton, Enterprise, Ark Royal, and the mighty battleships Yamato and Musashi- have been included, thus providing comprehensive in- formation and illustrations for the ships of each fleet at its zenith, including the navies of Germany, Italy, and Japan.The basis of this volume was the first uncensored edition of Jane's to be published after the close of World War II. It therefore represents the best single reference book coveri.
