Guardians of the North: Canadian Warships and Naval Aircraft, 1910-2025
No Customer Reviews
A comprehensive, fully illustrated survey of Canada's warship and maritime aircraft acquisitions from 1910 to the present day.
Combining the talents of two of Canada's foremost naval historians, this book fills an important void in the story of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and associated Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Maritime Aviation. A never-before-attempted chronological examination of when and why Canada has procured its some 50 classes of warships and a dozen aircraft types over the past 120 years, and how it has employed and disposed of them, it does more than collect statistics on the specifications and characteristics of those vessels and aircraft -- it reveals fresh insights to many overlooked themes and connections.
Karl Gagnon's marvellous profile drawings and many rarely seen images complement this engaging narrative history of the RCN and Maritime Aviation.
