Victoria's Blue Jackets & Marines: The Royal Navy During Queen Victoria's Reign 1839-1901
ISBN: 9781846779732 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Vignettes from many engagements of the Victorian Royal Navy

The British Empire now expanded quickly due in no small measure to this naval superiority. The Royal Navy was constantly employed, but now its role was the...

The title, however, refers to the fate of the Japanese submarine fleet. It's a tale of the bravery of doomed men in a lost cause, against impossible odds. The kaitens or human torpedoes were not the only submarine kamikazes: the whole war in the...
