"Konstam has done his research and the colour illustrations provided by Wright add a significant improvement to standard black-and-white ship line drawings. Ship model makers will find the combination quite appealing and inspirational. For such a small book, the index is remarkably utilitarian and improves upon Poolman's book which did not come with one." -- The Northern Mariner, "Konstam has done his research and the colour illustrations provided by Wright add a significant improvement to standard black-and-white ship line drawings.

Synopsis
This is the fully-illustrated story of the Royal Navy's escort carriers which battled against deadly U-Boats during the Battle of the Atlantic, giving vital air cover to the convoys that kept Britain alive in World War II., This is the fully-illustrated story of the Royal Navy's escort carriers which battled against deadly U-Boats during the Battle of the Atlantic, giving vital air cover to the convoys that kept Britain alive in World War II. In 1941, as the Battle of the Atlantic raged and ship losses mounted, the British Admiralty desperately tried to find ways to defeat the U-Boat threat to Britain's maritime lifeline. Facing a shortage of traditional aircraft carriers and shore-based aircraft, the Royal Navy, as a stopgap measure, converted merchant ships into small "escort carriers." These were later joined by a growing number of American-built escort carriers, sent as part of the Lend-Lease agreement. The typical Escort Carrier was small, slow and vulnerable, but it could carry about 18 aircraft, which gave the convoys a real chance to detect and sink dangerous U-Boats. Collectively, their contribution to an Allied victory was immense, particularly in the long and grueling campaigns fought in the Atlantic and Arctic. Illustrated throughout with detailed full-color artwork and contemporary photographs, this fascinating study explores in detail how these adaptable ships had such an enormous impact on the outcome of World War II's European Theater., As the Battle of the Atlantic began in earnest, the Royal Navy realized that only aircraft could defend the vital convoys from Germany's U-boats and Condors. However, fleet carriers were few, expensive, and needed elsewhere. The ingenious solution was to develop small, cheap aircraft carriers specifically for convoy duty. The first - 'MAC ships'-were based on fast merchant hulls, and later ones purpose-built, many in the US under Lend-Lease. They proved more useful than anyone expected. Britain's escort carriers launched raids against the Tirpitz in Norway, supported the great amphibious landings in the Pacific and Mediterranean, ferried aircraft into combat, and performed a host of other roles. This is the history of the warships that brought air power to the most remote parts of the oceans, launching Sea Hurricanes, Swordfish, Wildcats, Hellcats and Avengers off their small, treacherous flight decks in often ferocious weather, and played a major role in the Allies' ultimate victory.

    I recieved my purchasr today. Earlier than expected. Thats a plus. Solid packaging helped protect this old model airplane kit. Product is as described and more. Maybe I didn't read the entire description of what was included. Several after market parts that are superior to the manufacturers (revell) I will be looking to this seller again in the future and I recommend them. Thanks!!!

    My purchase was packaged well, shipped very quickly, and received in excellent condition. The kit I ordered, and received was exactly as advertised, and the transaction was smooth and easy. I've purchased many times from Warbirdhobbies and they are always a pleasure to do business with, and I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. Highly Recommended.
