another thorough Friedman job
This is an excellent addition to the collected naval technical histories by Prof Friedman. He lucidly and clearly explains fire control as well as armament manufacture issues from prior to and during WW I through WW II. It helps considerably to know about this to understand events at Jutland, for example, or in WW II in various engagements. As usual it is well written and marvelously illustrated with great diagrams by Mr Baker and Mr Jurens, as well as with excellent photographs.
