[quote="bengtsson"]That's nice to hear :thumbs_up_1: So she was not hit by British aircraft during her time as an anti aircraft battery? The book has a couple photos of her burning, I naturally thought she had been hit.

Actually I believe she has the record for the most torpedo targeted (but unscratched) ship of the story, on memory, about twenty torpedoes where found in the nets around her. Eben her scuttling anyway, brought some polemics, as she could had sailed to Italy. Probably the scuttling order had some "resistence to the last" component.

[quote="bengtsson"]I want a copy of Volume 13 in the worst way "Navigatori class". I have the 14/15 volumes I & II and they are fantastic! I wish the publisher would do like the Marines Editions did and finally get a web site up to sell their books. They would surely make alot more money if people around the world had a source to buy from. Also, the Volume 5 "San Giorgio" was mentioned above. I have this also and it is really intersting especially all the photos of her fitted out as an Anti Aircraft ship in Tobruk. Can anyone tell me what type of aircraft and what their units were who sank her there??

RN San Giorgio was scuttled while the British troops were entering Tobruck.

Vol 14 Parts 1,2 & 3 arrived yesterday and so I scanned in the full list that appears in the back.

If anyone needs Vol14 Parts 1,2,3 I know a UK seller that has them!

Confusingly Part 1 is 1 book and Parts 2 & 3 are in another book together.

They are also modern prints the ones I have here dated (1997) :big_grin:

Hello gentlemen,

Yes, I have all the Immagini volumes, as well as San Giorgio (a fascinating late armored cruiser). I'm just missing the Soldati and Navigatori class destroyers, I think. All my books are currently packed in boxes as I am preparing to move. I'll still be in Washington, DC, just a few blocks from here, 2.48 miles from the White House.

Best,
Ted

Ok no not paid for it yet
Thank you

[If you have already paid for it then fine, if not then do not.
