After I had written my recent blog post about by collection of naval books, I felt sure that I had not included all the books on my shelves ... and then I found some more! These included:
- The Osprey-like EL CRUCERO REINA REGENTE Y SU HUNDIMIENTO EL 9 DE MARZO DE 1896 by Joaquín Gil Hondubilla.
- William Euegen Warner's WARSHIPS OF THE CHINCHA ISLAND WARW (1864-1866): SPAIN'S LAST IMPERIAL ADVENTURE and WARSHIPS AT THE BATTLE OF RIACHUELO.
- Four of Louis Davison's WATERLINE SHIPMODELOR'S PLANBOOK SERIES, including 1. UNITED STATES DESTROYERS. 2. UNITED STATES DESTROYERS, 3. UNITED STATES BATTLESHIPS, and 4. UNITED STATES MONITORS AND CONFEDERATE RAMS.
- Ing. Prasky's 1:100th-scale MODELLBAU-UND TYPENPLAN of the Austro-Hungarian river monitors MAROS & LEITHA and TEMES & BODROG.
- Five issues of the WARSHIP PROFILE series, 23. HMS FURIOUS AIRCRAFT CARRIER 1917-1948 PART 1: THE FIRST EIGHT YEARS (by Commander C A Jenkins OBE RN), 35. HMS EAGLE (by David Brown), 36. UNITED STATES MONITORS OF THE CIVIL WAR (by Commander William J Cracknell USN), 39. USS MISSISSIPPI (BB23)/GREEK KILKIS (by Karl Lautenschläger), and 40. HER NETHERLANDS MAJESTY'S SHIP DE RUYTER (by F C van Oosten).
- THE CHINESE STEAM NAVY 1862-1945 by Richard N J Wright.
The plan books are particularly useful, and I can imagine some of the people who took part in Fletcher Pratt's naval wargame using the ones in Louis Davidson's books to build their 1:600th-scale waterline models.
