Will there be an accompanying volume on the 6 [b]Danton[/b] class semi-dreadnoughts (I always say you can never too many funnels) I wonder? How about the Iéna, Suffren, Masséna & Carnot?

Best, Terry ([color=red][b]Caravellarella[/b][/color]).

Merci- beaucoup!

I find French pre -dreadnought battleships fascinating the more publications on this subject the better. Thanks for letting us know .

A fine book on the last French pre-dreadnoughts of the 1900 programme :
[i][b]Patrie[/b][/i], [i][b]République[/b][/i], [i][b]Démocratie[/b][/i], [i][b]Justice[/b][/i], [i][b]Liberté [/b][/i]and [i][b]Vérité[/b][/i]

These six 15,000t battleships are widely covered (French text and many rare photographs) both technically and operationally. 176 pages, many B&W pictures, maps, sketches and a full set of official plans (from the CAA).
Annexes cover in detail the loss of [i][b]Liberté [/b][/i](magazine explosion) with pictures and damage plan from the archives.
WWI operations in the Adriatic, Aegean and Dardanelles are also covered.

A must for all French ships lovers. For those non reading French, pictures and plans will speak for themselves.
