As a category, the cruiser sat clearly between capital ships and flotilla craft, but in both size and armament it showed a wider range of variation than either of the other categories. No British cruisers were laid down after 1942 and it is unlikely that any cruiser will ever again be built for the Royal Navy. This volume brings together a varied selection of photographs from archives around the world to review the development of British and Commonwealth cruisers. Particular emphasis has been placed on those classes which served in the two World Wars. Earlier landmark designs - the first iron, steel and mastless classes - are also considered, together with ships completed after World War II and those transferred to other navies. Such developments as anti-aircraft armament, deceptive and cryptic paint schemes, and, in the later ships, the growing importance of radar, are highlighted. Some of the photographs were taken during actual wartime operations from World War I to Korea. Illustrated with over 200 photographs and supported by detailed captions, the book offers a wealth of information for those interested in the crusier classes of the British and Commonwealth navies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49531457175825,"sku":"GOR006956002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49608164540689,"sku":"GOR007169010","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750923504.jpg?v=1751043000"},{"product_id":"fleet-air-arm-in-camera-book-roger-hayward-9780750912549","title":"The Fleet Air Arm in Camera","description":"One of the series IN CAMERA, this is a collection of photographs of the Fleet Air Arm, illustrating the activities, ships and aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm and its predecessor the Royal Naval Air Service.

Other equally important images of British naval aviation and the Fleet Air Arm can also be found in the collections of the world-famous Fleet Air Museum at RNAS Yeovilton. Together these two important collections cover a period from 1912, when British naval aviation was making its first tentative steps, through to the high-technology Fleet Air Arm (FAA) of the 1990s.The Fleet Air Arm in Camera 1912-1996 brings a representative selection of these two collections to the notice of a wider audience. Many of the 240 photographs are published here for the first time and give the reader a fascinating kaleidoscope of images depicting the vast range of offensive, defensive, shore and carrier-based operations in which the FAA and its predecessors - the Naval Wing of the RFC and the Royal Naval Air Service - have been involved over a period of more than eighty years.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49616698605841,"sku":"GOR012105818","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53179670003985,"sku":"GOR014794150","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750993049.jpg?v=1767868026"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-roger-hayward.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
