| The
Royal Navy 1939-45. by Ian Sumner, Alix Baker (Illustrator) . Osprey;
ISBN: 1841761958 Our Price: £7.99 |
 |
This
work comprehensively covers the full range of Royal Navy uniforms during
World War II in colour. It explains the organization, duties and shipboard
life of the wartime ships' companies, and traces the development of the
Royal Navy from 1939 to the end of the war.
Advances in submarine
warfare and air/sea tactics cost the Royal Navy dear in the early Atlantic,
Mediterranean and Pacific campaigns, but the traditional professionalism
of the pre-war regulars and the willingness of the Reserves and "hostilities
only" recruits combined to win the battles of the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
The navy went on to play a vital part in the sea-borne invasions to liberate
Europe, and by 1945 was once more making a serious contribution
to the war against
Japan.

This
important reference to the uniforms of the British, Commonwealth and US
women's services will be followed by a further MAA title on the Allied
nursing services
Women made a huge
contribution to the Allied armed services in World War II, serving in hundreds
of thousands all over the world. They not only freed men for combat
service, but performed duties which took them into harm's way. Servicewomen
manned anti-aircraft batteries, worked on heavily-bombed air stations,
drove every kind of transport, repaired and maintained combat aircraft,
and even went to sea as cypher experts.
