Book Description
In the meticulously revised third edition of this comprehensive guide, authors Elaine Morgan and Stephen Davies build upon the foundations that have made Red Sea Pilot a classic title. Complemented by inspirational photography and new Imray plans, this guide paints a detailed portrait of the entire expanse of the Red Sea, from Aden to Suez and its canal. The leaps in sailing technology since the previous edition in the early 2000s are evident in this upgraded book. With advancements in satellite imagery, the book includes far more precise depictions of remote coastlines, harbours, and havens. Additionally, a dedicated section provides invaluable recommendations on readying your vessel for the unique conditions of the Red Sea. The result is a third edition of Red Sea Pilot that stands out not only for its rich content but also for its user-friendly approach, emphasising safety, preparation, and a sense of wonder for every cruiser in this fascinating cruising ground.

The island of Corsica and the waterways that run behind the coast linking the Canal du Midi and the étangs to the Rhône are covered in separate chapters.

During their travels they visited a large number of harbours and anchorages, collecting the latest information and taking new photographs.

This major 2017 edition contains substantial change to the content. ‘A new Mediterranean France pilot from Rod and Lu Heikell is now available from Imray and, needless to say, if you have not got one and plan to cruise this coast and inevitably Corsica, then rush out and buy it!’ Royal Cruising Club.

Pages : 426
Book Description
“If you only read one book on the development of the Fleet Air Arm and Naval air warfare in the Mediterranean during World War 2 then this should be it.” —Military Historical Society After the Italian declaration of war in June 1940, the Royal Navy found itself facing a larger and better-equipped Italian surface fleet, large Italian and German air forces equipped with modern aircraft and both Italian and German submarines. Its own aircraft were a critical element of an unprecedented fight on, over and under the sea surface. The best-known action was the crippling of the Italian fleet at Taranto, which demonstrated how aircraft carriers and their aircraft had replaced the dominance of battleships, but every subsequent operation is covered from the perspective of naval aviation. Some of these, like Matapan or the defense of the “Pedestal” convoy to Malta, are famous but others in support of land campaigns and in the Aegean after the Italian surrender are less well recorded. In all these, the ingenuity and innovation of the Fleet Air Arm shines through—Taranto pointed the way to what the Japanese would achieve at Pearl Harbor, while air cover for the Salerno landings demonstrated the effectiveness of carrier-borne fighters in amphibious operations, a tactic adopted by the US Navy. The author’s years of archival research together with his experience as a carrier pilot allow him to describe and analyze the operations of naval aircraft in the Mediterranean with unprecedented authority. This provides the book with novel insights into many familiar facets of the Mediterranean war while for the first time doing full justice to the Fleet Air Arm’s lesser known achievements. “A full and fascinating story.” —Clash of Steel
