V.C.'s of the Royal Navy: Epic Stories of Courage

In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.

Here are twenty-four stories of almost incredible courage in surface ships, in midget submarines, and high above the waves in aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm.

Some of the stories have been told already; others have never been heard before. The full first-hand account is given of the Battle of Narvik, where Captain B.A.W. Warburton-Lee led H.M.S. Hardy to great glory. The epic of H.M.S. Jervis Bay, a converted merchant cruiser, tells of her self-sacrifice which saved an Atlantic convoy from destruction. Captain E.S. Fogarty Fegen went down with his ship in this immortal action. John Frayn Turner has written a story that will appeal to readers of all ages. It is packed with drama, thrills and daring and is a vivid record of valour which makes one realize how much we owe to these brave and selfless men.
