Yes, both the Raven & Roberts books and the Burt books were published by Arms and Armour Press in the UK and by the Naval Institute Press in the US. However the R&R books preceded the Burt books by a decade or so; perhaps the situation had improved by the time this book appeared in 1988.

Well there is a great deal of difference in the Raven volumes printed in the UK and the USA., I may be confusing those with the Burt but I think I am right in saying they were the same publishers in both cases?

About two years ago I was in possession of both the A&AP edition (ISBN 0853689148) and the NIP edition (ISBN 0870210610). I decided to sell one and so compared the two carefully: there was no obvious difference. So I ended up selling the NIP edition, since that was missing its cover.

The American printing was very badly done. Photo reproduction was terrible!
