USEFUL BOOKS

[MSea]

This is a new section on the web site for anybody to place information about books they have read and think might be of interest to other club members ( NO Wizzel we don't need to know about 50 Shades of Grey -- thank you very much. ) You can follow the format below or just place the information in any way you like.
I hope this will be a help to club members, if not it will gradually wither and die, so use it or lose it.

An excellent balanced book about the navy in WW1, well written and illustrated. Mainly a historical book but several unusual illustrations could prompt ideas for models. Such as what looks like a ship's 3inch gun mounted on a girder platform to turn it into an anti-aircraft gun and a Felixstowe flying boat landed on the water using a hydrophone.
