Description
The Italian Battle Fleet 1940-43 'La Squadra', the Pride of the Regia Marina A comprehensive account of Italy's wartime battle fleet, from its ships and technology to command structure and logistics. In the years leading up to World War II, the Regia Marina built a powerful battleship-led fleet, known as 'La Squadra', intended to make the Mediterranean an Italian sea once more. This book offers a fresh assessment of the wartime Italian battle fleet, based on lifetime primary-source research from both Italian and Allied sources. It provides a detailed portrait of this proud armada, including its codebreakers, logistics, and industry, as well as a concise account of its activities through the war. Illustrated with superb new artwork, maps, and 3D diagrams, and featuring rare photos. The author's research overturns some myths still commonplace in Anglo-American accounts, providing a fascinating insight into Italy's great fleet of World War II.
