The Night of the Scorpion: A historical espionage… af John Winton

Another good sea story about a little known part of WW 2. In the Mediterranean , with PT boats infiltrating Occupied Europe . The final book of a brief but good series.

A Drowning War af John Winton

A good look at Uboats versus British antisubmarine tactics. Valid history in a good fictional context.

Aircraft Carrier: A thrilling novel of the War in… af John Winton

A good look at the British Fleet Carrier Service in the Pacific in the twilight of the war with the Japanese. Penetrative insights into the trauma of continuing war against an implacable and history-driven foe.

Warrior : the first and the last af John Winton

Small 100 page museum souvenir guidebook. Very much a social history of Warrior, with a reasonable context for her building, a good description of life on board in the Victorian navy. Then comes the history of hulking, senescence, rediscovery and restoration in Hartlepool and finally the move to Portsmouth.

Not a technical description of ironclads or Victorian steam warships (try 'Steam, steel & shellfire : the steam warship, 1815-1905' for that), but a nice enough little book. Plenty of B&W photos.… (mere)
