Description
British Naval Weapons of World War Two: The John Lambert Collection Volume III - Coastal Forces Weapons This third volume in the acclaimed series by renowned naval draughtsman John Lambert presents a unique collection of drawings and commentary on coastal forces weapons used during World War Two. Featuring over 850 sheets of original drawings, many previously unpublished, this book showcases the innovative and often improvised armament systems employed by these smaller warships. The focus is on open mountings, such as torpedo tubes and fire-control directors, which presented a challenge to modelmakers. The collection also includes drawings of deck fittings and specific weapons carried by Coastal Forces, many of which were purpose-designed for their role. This volume completes the project John Lambert was working on at the time of his death in 2016. With its large page size and expert commentary, this book is a valuable resource for modelmakers, historians, and anyone interested in naval warfare during World War Two.
