The aim of Seaforth books is to produce the very best maritime books, whether they be narrative histories, definitive reference works, ship monographs or modeling books; and as well as reflecting the very latest research they are also designed and printed to the highest standards. Some have made significant contributions to the field, but we hope that all of them will make worthwhile additions to any collector's bookshelf.
Norman Friedman is a naval analyst and historian with an outstanding international reputation for his incisive books on the design and development of warships and weapons systems.
The British Aircraft Carrier is well up to the high standards set by the author in his previous books published by Seaforth and is the culmination of many years’ work...
Overall this is an important book with significant detail about carrier designs that were of direct interest to the RAN. My copy now occupies a valued place in my library and I thoroughly recommend it to ANI members as an important work describing the development and design of some of the RAN’s most important warships as well as the RN ships.
