DJ is in a plastic sleeve and has some wear and soiling. Name of previous owner stamped on fep. Cover worn. This is a large and heavy book an…d would require additional shipping charges if sent outside of the United States. Jane's Fighting Ships is an annual reference book of information on all the world's warships arranged by nation, including information on ships' names, dimensions, armaments, silhouettes and photographs, etc. Each edition describes and illustrates warships of different national naval and paramilitary forces, providing data on their characteristics. The first issue was illustrated with Jane's own ink sketches--photos began to appear with the third volume in 1900. The present title was adopted in 1905. It was originally published by John Frederick Thomas Jane in London in 1898 as Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships, in order to assist naval officers and the general public in playing naval wargames. Its success eventually launched a number of military publications carrying the name "Jane's". It is a unit of Jane's Information Group, which is now owned by IHS. Ten early editions of Jane's (those of 1898, 1905-06, 1906-07, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1931, 1939, 1944-45, and 1950-51) were reissued in facsimile reprints by Arco Publishing starting in 1969. All of these appeared in the oblong or "landscape" format that characterized the series until the 1956/57 edition, while from 1957/58 the present "portrait" layout was adopted, thus matching the sister Jane's publication on aircraft. Oscar Parkes OBE (8 October 1885 - 24 June 1958) was a Royal Navy surgeon, naval historian, marine artist, and editor of Jane's Fighting Ships from 1918 to 1935. He was an associate of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects. The Imperial War Museum and the National Maritime Museum have permanent collections of his artwork. His book British Battleships: "Warrior", 1860 to "Vanguard", 1950. A History of Design, Construction and Armament is regarded as a definitive source. Parkes joined the Royal Navy on 25 February 1915, on a temporary commission as a surgeon. His talent for spotting ships sometimes from aircraft came to be recognized, and towards the end of the First World War he served in the Naval Intelligence Division under Admiral Sir Reginald Hall at the Admiralty. While there he worked on the design of Q-ships. Parkes was demobilized in 1919, became an official naval artist, and joined the Imperial War Museum as director of their naval photographic section. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire for "valuable services in H.M. Hospital Ships during the War and at the R.N. Hospitals, Chatham and Plymouth" on 22 August 1919. In 1918, Parkes was appointed an editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, a post he held till 1935. At first, he was joint-editor with Maurice Prendergast, and from 1922 to 1930 with Francis McMurtrie. From 1930 to 1935 he was sole editor. The last edition of Jane's Fighting Ships he was involved with was the December 1934 issue. Parkes' book Ships of the Royal Navy was first published in 1922. It would be reprinted in seven revised editions the next 15 years, and had a change of title to Ships of the Royal Navies (British Commonwealth of Nations) in 1935. In 1929, Sampson Low published the first edition of Parkes' book The World's Warships. Aside from his role as editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, Parkes contributed many naval articles to the Navy League Magazine, the Society for Nautical Research's academic journal for maritime history, the Mariner's Mirror, and other journals. After 32 years of research, Parkes' definitive book British Battleships: "Warrior", 1860 to "Vanguard", 1950. A History of Design, Construction. Presumed First Reprint Edition, First printing this issue.

Material: Kunstleder/braun Inhaltlich handelt es sich um einen vermutlich um ein Faksimile der 1941er-Ausgabe. Oder um ein nachträglich in den 60erJahren gebundenes Original. Es wird aber ausdrücklich nicht als Original angeboten. Wann genau diese Ausgabe erschienen ist, ist unbekannt Die Einbanddeckel und Schnitt ist minimalst berieben. Diese Kriegsausgabe enthält zahlreiche neue Abbildungen und aktualisiertes Textmaterial sowie alle Informationen zu den deutschen, italienischen und japanischen Flotten, die sich eingehend prüfen und verifizieren ließen. Jane's Fighting Ships ist ein jährlich erscheinendes Nachschlagewerk, das Informationen zu allen Kriegsschiffen der Welt nach Nationen geordnet bereithält; dazu gehören Angaben zu Schiffsnamen, Abmessungen, Bewaffnung, Silhouetten, Fotografien usw. Die einzelnen Ausgaben beschreiben und illustrieren Kriegsschiffe verschiedener nationaler Marine- und paramilitärischer Streitkräfte und liefern Daten zu deren technischen Merkmalen. Die Erstausgabe war mit eigenen Tuschezeichnungen von Jane illustriert; Fotografien erschienen erstmals im dritten Band im Jahr 1900. Der heutige Titel wurde im Jahr 1905 eingeführt. Ursprünglich wurde das Werk von John Frederick Thomas Jane unter dem Titel Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships herausgegeben, um Marineoffiziere und die Öffentlichkeit bei der Durchführung von Seekriegsspielen zu unterstützen. Zehn frühe Ausgaben von Jane's (1898, 190506, 190607, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1931, 1939, 194445 und 195051) wurden ab 1969 vom Verlag Arco als Faksimiles neu aufgelegt. Alle diese Ausgaben erschienen im Querformat, das bis zur Ausgabe 1956/57 beibehalten wurde; ab der Ausgabe 1957/58 wurde das heute übliche Hochformat eingeführt, wodurch eine optische Angleichung an das Schwesterpublikation Jane's All the World's Aircraft (Flugzeuge) erfolgte. Francis E. McMurtrie war ein renommierter britischer Marineexperte, Autor und langjähriger Herausgeber von Jane's Fighting Ships.

This is a large and heavy book and would require additional shipping charges if sent outside of the United States. Jane's Fighting Ships is an annual reference book of information on all the world's warships arranged by nation, including information on ships' names, dimensions, armaments, silhouettes and photographs, etc. Each edition describes and illustrates warships of different national naval and paramilitary forces, providing data on their characteristics. The first issue was illustrated with Jane's own ink sketches--photos appeared with the third volume in 1900. The present title was adopted in 1905. It was originally published by John Frederick Thomas Jane as Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships, in order to assist naval officers and the general public in playing naval wargames. It is a unit of Jane's Information Group, which is now owned by IHS. Ten early editions of Jane's (those of 1898, 1905-06, 1906-07, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1931, 1939, 1944-45, and 1950-51) were reissued in facsimile reprints by Arco Publishing starting in 1969. All of these appeared in the "landscape" format that characterized the series until the 1956/57 edition, while from 1957/58 the present "portrait" layout was adopted, thus matching the sister Jane's publication on aircraft. Oscar Parkes OBE (8 October 1885 - 24 June 1958) was a Royal Navy surgeon, naval historian, marine artist, and editor of Jane's Fighting Ships from 1918 to 1935. He was an associate of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects. The Imperial War Museum and the National Maritime Museum have permanent collections of his artwork. His book British Battleships: "Warrior", 1860 to "Vanguard", 1950. A History of Design, Construction and Armament is regarded as a definitive source. Parkes joined the Royal Navy on 25 February 1915, on a temporary commission as a surgeon. His talent for spotting ships sometimes from aircraft came to be recognized, and towards the end of the First World War he served in the Naval Intelligence Division under Admiral Sir Reginald Hall at the Admiralty. While there he worked on the design of Q-ships. Parkes was demobilized in 1919, became an official naval artist, and joined the Imperial War Museum as director of their naval photographic section. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire for "valuable services in H.M. Hospital Ships during the War and at the R.N. Hospitals, Chatham and Plymouth" on 22 August 1919. In 1918, Parkes was appointed an editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, a post he held till 1935. At first, he was joint-editor with Maurice Prendergast, and from 1922 to 1930 with Francis McMurtrie. From 1930 to 1935 he was sole editor. The last edition of Jane's Fighting Ships he was involved with was the December 1934 issue. Parkes' book Ships of the Royal Navy was first published in 1922. It would be reprinted in seven revised editions the next 15 years, and had a change of title to Ships of the Royal Navies (British Commonwealth of Nations) in 1935. In 1929, Sampson Low published the first edition of Parkes' book The World's Warships. Aside from his role as editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, Parkes contributed many naval articles to the Navy League Magazine, the Society for Nautical Research's academic journal for maritime history, the Mariner's Mirror, and other journals. After 32 years of research, Parkes' definitive book British Battleships: "Warrior", 1860 to "Vanguard", 1950. A History of Design, Construction. As is A thoroughly disreputable copy of this very scarce work.

Jane's Fighting Ships is an annual reference book of information on all the world's warships arranged by nation, including information on ships' names, dimensions, armaments, silhouettes and photographs, etc. Each edition describes and illustrates warships of different national naval and paramilitary forces, providing data on their characteristics. The first issue was illustrated with Jane's own ink sketches--photos began to appear with the third volume in 1900. The present title was adopted in 1905. It was originally published by John Frederick Thomas Jane in London in 1898 as Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships, in order to assist naval officers and the general public in playing naval wargames. Its success eventually launched a number of military publications carrying the name "Jane's". It is a unit of Jane's Information Group, which is now owned by IHS. Ten early editions of Jane's (those of 1898, 1905-06, 1906-07, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1931, 1939, 1944-45, and 1950-51) were reissued in facsimile reprints by Arco Publishing. All of these appeared in the oblong or "landscape" format that characterized the series until the 1956/57 edition, while from 1957/58 the present "portrait" layout was adopted. The New York Times on September 21, 1944 from London on September 20th that a hint of the overwhelming sea power the United States and Britain are massing for use against Japan was contained in the 1943-44 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships, released to the press on on the 20th and formally published on the 21st. This authoritative naval publication pointed out that while the Allied navies are still growing as a result of new building and accretions of ships from other sources, the German and Japanese fleets were showing signs of the steady process of attrition to which they had been subjected. Jane's appraisal of the growing Allied strength contained most interesting information in view of the fact that the European war is believed to be entering a phase where almost all British and American sea power can be shifted to the Pacific. United States expansion, the new edition notes, "continues at a tremendous pace" with two new 45,000-ton battleships, the Missouri and Wisconsin, due to be launched this year, bring the total number of battleships to twenty-four. In addition, the United States had recently completed several new cruisers "considerably exceeding losses" and 80,000 landing craft. The American Navy, which has reconstructed old vessels to strengthen defense against aircraft, number 4,167 ships as of the preceding January. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus (of corrected version).
