Description

8vo., First Edition, with numerous photographs in the text; original photographic wrappers, a fine copy. With their enormous cargo capacities the contribution of the Empire Food Ships in the relentless struggle to sustain the supply of food to the Home Front was especially important. Many of these vessels were involved in the most famous convoys; three out of five were lost in PEDESTAL alone. Includes a detailed fleet list of vessels built between 1934 and 1948. Scarce.
