British Aircraft Carriers 193945 by Angus Konstam
With war against Germany looming, Britain pushed forward its carrier program in the late 1930s. In 1938, the Royal Navy launched the HMS Ark Royal, its first-ever purpose-built aircraft carrier. This book tells the story of the small, but resilient, carriers and the crucial role they played in the British war effort.Angus Konstam is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and has written widely on naval history, with well over a hundred books in print.
