Expanding on their ever growing range of naval reference books, Osprey Publishing have announced the impending release of their US Submarines 1900–35.

Written by Jim Christley this book introduces the reader to the early years of US submarine development and operation during the first third of the 20th century. It was in this period of growth and change that the submarine moved from a small vessel of limited range and tactical strength to a far ranging force.

This book totaling 48 pages tells the little-told story of the United State’s submarine force during World War I, and the lessons they learned that would be passed on to future generations of submariners.

Illustrated by Tony Bryan this promises to be a fine addition to any US Navy modelshipwrights reference library.

It is expected to be in January 2011 at a current rent retail price of UK pounds 9.99.

Please note that these prices are approximately and indicative only as supplied by the Vendor.
