Another EXCELLENT Reference Book,

This review is from: Boarders Away, Volume II: Firearms of the Age of Fighting Sail (Hardcover)
Students of navy history in the age of fighting sail are in for a feast! This is the BEST book I've read to date on the firearms of the sea service. From muskets, pistols, volley guns, carronades, grenades and other incinderaries, Gilkerson does an outstanding job with the subject. By the time I was finished with this one, I was ready to strap on a cutlass and a brace of pistols!

Excellent book!!!,

This review is from: Boarders Away, Volume II: Firearms of the Age of Fighting Sail (Hardcover)
This book is very informative and well researched. It, however, does not contain a lot of colour photos. Nevertheless, the book is excellent in content and very useful for research. It, along with the Vol 1, are necessities to any nautical library.

This review is from: Boarders Away, Volume II: Firearms of the Age of Fighting Sail (Hardcover)
An excellant source of information to anyone interested in the age of fighting sail. Not just firarms of the period are covered but all gunpowder weapons used for combat by ships at sea of the period. Provides a great wealth of information and insight into the imagination and genius of the weapons desighners of the period.
Great book and very great reading. |
