Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. On November 11, 1940, 21 slow, canvas-covered British warplanes, launched from the carrier Illustrious, attacked the harbor at the Italian port of Taranto and put most of the Italian navy out of commission. This all-but-forgotten operation, the authors argue, deserves historical recognition as an inspirational precedent for the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor 13 months later. Taranto demonstrated that battleships in a shallow, heavily defended harbor could be sunk by a handful of torpedo-bombers. That lesson Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese fleet, learned well-while the American military virtually ignored it. By this single stroke the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean was decisively altered. Winston S. Churchill. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Colour photographs of flies throughout. DVD laid in. Slight use and soiling to cover else very good. "This book is for tiers who know the basics and are ready to move on [and who] want to tie flies to catch fish .We chose patterns that have been proven producers and that experienced fly fishers carry. We avoided patterns with narrow or local applications .We also wanted patterns that as a group would fill a trout fisherman's needs in every situation. Thus, the book includes flies from each category - nymphs, wet flies/emergers, dry flies, terrestrials, and streamers. The first three categories are presented in an order that reflects the life cycle of aquatic insects in their journey from stream bottom to top. Finally, each group represents the array of tying skills most essential to its category. For example, the patterns in our dry fly section will teach you how to make .upright wings .how to wind parachute hackle atound a wingpost, how to make the wings of a caddis pattern, and so on, so that when you finish the patterns in this section, you'll be well equipped to tie just about any dry fly." Well worth trying out. .

B/w illustrations taken from old engravings, brief bibliography, black, decoratively grained end-papers. Powder-blue, decoratively grained paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine unread copy in dust-wrapper. A carefully re-edited version of William Stewart's The Practical Angler: or the Art of Trout Fishing, More Particularly Applied to Clear Water. Since this series deals exclusively with flyfishing, the "chapters on equipment, worm, natural mayfly and minnow fishing and loch fishing have been omitted from this sampler as falling outside the scope of this series." In addition, this edition omits the plates of flies included in the original edition. "William Stewart's writings burst upon the angling world in 1857 in a flurry of acclaim and controversy. Stewart aimed to reshape the angling habits of his day. His forceful arguments on behalf of upstream fishing and his advocacy of shorter, stiffer fly rods were an important influence in the rise of dry-fly fishing. .Many of the rationales behind practices that we take for granted today were first and best expressed by Stewart." The publishers claim this to be the first American edition of The Practical Angler. PREVIOUS PRICE £12.95.
