Superb coverage of the U-Boat Type VII for modellers, with an
embarrassing amount of colour artwork, scale plans, black-and-white
photographs, detailed English/Polish text, and so much more. This is an absolute
must-have for modellers and U-boat buffs.
The second volume of an invaluable two-part reference work on the
formidable Type VII U-Boat, the most successful German World War II
U-Boat
Cheap and relatively quick to build, over 700 Type VIIs were
produced, making it the most common type of German World War II U-Boat, and the
most produced submarine class in history. Armed with five torpedo tubes and
smaller than the American fleet boats, this was a formidable enemy vessel,
nearly winning the Battle of the Atlantic;
however, the cost was devastating, as more than 75 percent of U-boat crewmen
were killed.
This is the second of a superbly detailed, two-part volume in the
Encyclopedia of Warships series describing the development of the Type VII. The
boat’s history is supported by technical data and production specifications,
along with detailed colour plates which show various views of the whole
silhouettes as well as Type VII details.
This book is bilingual, with Polish and English text and
captions.
