Highly detailed, illustrated account of the 20 mm to 40 mm artillery
for the German Kriegsmarine.
The fourth volume of this authoritative series, German Naval
Artillery is fully dedicated to calibres from 20 mm to 40 mm. The first chapter
deals with the 40 mm Bofors gun, so effective that it was introduced on the
decks of warships as an anti-aircraft weapon. In the second chapter we meet the
famous German anti-aircraft 37 mm calibre gun, widely used on all Kriegsmarine
warships, with all its development versions and successors described. Finally,
we look at the 20 mm calibre guns, starting with the first copies of prototype
versions which were systematically upgraded before being put into mass
production.
This is a particularly helpful publication for modellers, and with
all the photographs, drawings and 3D graphics included, every reader will come
away with a more accurate knowledge of the various guns.
A bi-lingual publication, with text and captions in both Polish and
English, this book contains a rare visual and technical insight into the AA guns
used on the mighty warships which terrorised the Allied battle and shipping
fleets of the Atlantic
Ocean.
