Seller's Description:
Very good in Good jacket. 160 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling. Format is 6 inches by 4.15 inches. In listing British Cruisers the author has paid his usual attention to detail, and his notes on design background are especially informative. War modifications are dealt with in some depth although there was little standardization within a class, but by the close of hostilities there was a move towards ore homogeneity in modification with the more modern classes. Henry Trevor Lenton (8 February 1924-7 May 2009) was an English naval historian, specializing in the area of 20th-century naval history and warship design. He served in the Merchant Navy and the Royal Navy during World War II before becoming a journalist and author. Lenton was a lieutenant aboard the light cruiser HMS Mauritius in 1944. That same year he volunteered for service in the Royal Indian Navy and was commanding the auxiliary patrol vessel Oostkapelle in 1945. He was a lieutenant commander when discharged in 1947. He returned to the Merchant Navy and eventually was rated as Master. Lenton joined the journal Shipbuilding and Shipping Record in 1960 and began writing books and articles. He launched Naval Record Magazine in 1963 which became the leading publication on current naval production at that time. Trevor published his famous "Construction Tables" which were widely sought after each month. HRH The Duke of Edinburgh was a subscriber to the magazine. His life's work led to his magnum opus British and Empire Warships of the Second World War (1998), published by Greenhill Books, which followed on from a series of books on the American, German and Royal Navies of World War II.
