Naval Historical Society of Australia

Post by Laurence Batchelor »

Dear all,

I'm after a reading list or publication list of all the books produced by the Naval Historical Society of Australia. I have 1 or 2 of their books and would like to know all the ones that have been produced. I've searched the net and the societies own website, but could not find a complete list of all their publications can anyone help please?

Cheers

I guessed everyone is as stumped as me then! :big_grin:

Ok then I'll narrow the field somewhat, I'm only intertested in the ones they do on WW2 warships and in particular the ones built in British Yards.

For example I have the Canberra book, I'd like to know the authors and details of the V/W class DD one and the N-class books, I had these once apon a time but seem to have sold them :bash_2:

Also do they do one each for all the ww2 RAN cruisers?
