1940 "Armed British and French Merchant Ships" handbook

JScones · 04-13-08, 04:44 AM

Just thought I'd share something I found on ebay.

I'll start by saying that I don't know this seller nor have I ever bought from him, but this particular item is one that I've never seen before; I've linked it solely for the screenshots.

Goes to show that just by knowing a ship name/profile, a Kaleun could find out a lot of info about it. Much more detail than that obtained from the Weyer's guide. I wonder if an expanded version was ever produced after the US entered the war. :hmm:

Cooleo book. Don't know if it is worth 200.00 but it sure looks cool

Awesome book! If it's original then $200 is a great price! Wish I had that much.
