British Naval Weapons of the Second World War
by John Lambert,
288 pages,
published by Seaforth Publishing,
due 30th October 2012,
ISBN 978-1848321199.

Described on SMMLonline by John Lambert thus:

Quote:
For those not in the know, early in this year, I signed a contract with Pen & Sword Books, to write a new volume on R.N. Naval Armament. The theory is/was to include all the R.N.'s open backed weapons from the period of WW I right through to 1945.

Many of you will have seen my illustrations in the Late John Campbells book from 1985 or thereabouts. Since then I have spent more hours on my drawing board, and elsewhere undertaking research.

...

When published (hopefully in 2012) there will be a multitude of new drawings to see.

Excellent news, sounds like a must-have volume for RN builders.

Fantastic news I'm glad John is alive and well and his drawing in the early mornings hasn't diminished!
I look forward to this book unquestionably.

Kind Regards

The submission date for the manuscript has been pushed back to March 2013. According to John, it was either this or short cuts. So, I'm happy he took the right decision!

Add six months to that last estimate; late Q3 2013 at the earliest.
