This monograph includes description of cruiser's combat service and technical data. The book is rich in illustrations and includes over 100 photos, as well as many detailed colour profiles including a complete record of the ship's camouflage schemes - previously unpublished. Inserts include detailed drawings of a cruiser and its appearance during the ship's whole period of service before it was surrendered to the British at the end of World War II and scuttled in the North Sea.  About Encyclopaedia of Warships The series covering the most distinguished and interesting warships of the 20th century. The books describe the development and service history of individual ships or entire classes, starting with initial design requirements and ending with crossing off from fleet roster or destroying. The development chapter focuses on the history of the ship starting with the designing phase, through her construction to all the modernizations and refits carried out. The ships'service is described in the form of a timeline. Special focus is on the notable events like the naval battles. The technical descriptions contain hull structure, armament, propulsion system and consecutive modernizations. The books are illustrated with multiple photographs, maps, tables and detailed plans printed on large formats. Most of the publications contain A1 format insets with plans, camouflaging schemes and - in case of the newer releases - also 3D graphics. The newer books of this series are fully bilingual - Polish/English. The older ones contain English captions for the illustrations.</p>

An extraordinary comprehensive monograph of one of the most well-known American aircraft. The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was a carrier-capable fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II, with some Japanese pilots declaring it the most formidable fighter of the war. It quickly gained the reputation for being the most capable fighter-bomber in production, and was also used by the Fleet Air Arm and the Royal New Zealand Air Force. It contains the history of its design and development, as well as very detailed and numerous plans for modellers. Succesive chapters describe camouflage and markings of the planes on duty in USA, Great Britain, New Zealand and other countries. The books also includes detailed coverage of the service history of this aircraft. The whole book is illustrated with a great number of photos and colour plates showing Corsair camouflages. As usual the technical description is included.

The Yorktown-class aircraft carriers consisted of three carriers, Yorktown, Enterprise, and Hornet, built by the U.S. and completed shortly before World War II. They bore the brunt of early action in the Pacific, and sole survivor Yorktown went on to become the most decorated ship in the history of the U.S. Navy. This first volume of this Yorktown-class aircraft carrier monograph includes the history of this class of warships and their service through to the Pacific War. This volume includes a technical description illustrated by many drawings, photos and 3D graphics. Extensive content is also dedicated to the aircraft based on this class of aircraft carriers, including their schemes in 1:100 scale.
