British Naval Trawlers and Drifters in Two World Wars This book brings to life the often-overlooked vessels of the Royal Navy during World War I and II. The John Lambert Collection features 30 large sheets of detailed drawings, showcasing the design, construction, and operations of these humble craft. The book explores the history of trawlers and drifters, from their origins in traditional fishing ports to their role in the Royal Navy's strategic plans. It also delves into the experiences of the men who served on these vessels, including their bravery and the conditions they faced. The book is divided into two sections, covering the period leading up to the wars and the conflicts themselves.
