This, the fifth volume in this ten-volume set, continues its complete timeline of significant events in the history of the torpedo boat in all navies and all oceans. This volume, which covers the year 1941--"the hinge of fate"--includes seventeen illustrations and rare photographs in a full-color interior. The narrative covers the role of the torpedo boat as World War II spread throughout Europe, Asia, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Mediterranean.

The chronological presentation gives a vivid feeling for the way these boats were actually being used all over the world.
