With a foreword by Earl Jellicoe this is a contemporary examination, circa 1950, of Britain's Royal Navy. Packed with photos and articles including 'The Ships of the Fleet', 'What a Naval battle is Like', 'Battleships', 'Submarines', 'Flying in the Navy', 'Naval Ways and Customs' and many more. The volume is in good condition for its age. Edges of the boards are knocked and fraying. The binding and hinge are good (though slightly dtaching at preliminaries). Gift inscription plus three pasted-in cigarette cards at front endpaper.
