Author: TARRANT V.E.
Title: Battlecruiser Invincible. The History of the First Battlecruiser, 1909-16. FINE COPY IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER
Description: Arms & Armour,, [1986]. 8vo., First Edition, with 33 plates on 16 and 14 maps in the text; blue cloth, gilt back, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Completed as the second most powerful warship in existence, the first of Britain's battlecruisers performed well in her allotted role as scourge of German commerce raiders in WWI. Only when called upon to fulfil a fleet role for which she was never designed did she come to spectacular grief at Jutland. A gripping, if inevitable, story, well told with much new material and good clutch of uncommon photographs.
