I haven't been reading, so much as taking in, British Naval Weapons of World War Two: Destroyer Weapons. The book features ~45 sets of plans by the late great John Lambert of guns and mountings of 4.7 inches and below, fire control devices, torpedo tubes, and minesweeping gear. No anti-submarine weapons, but apparently those will be in the companion book on escort weapons coming out in August. The level of detail is frequently insane; for example, there are six sheets of plans of the 4in QF MK V series, with sectional views of the recuperator, elevation and training gear, sights, recoil cylinder, breech, base plate rollers, firing gear, etc.

I also finished reading Dennis R Jenkins' new book on the F-105 Thunderchief. You can read my review here: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1VZV7...p_perm?ie=UTF8
