015 ITALIAN ADRIATIC FLEET 1915-18: The fierce naval war with Austria-Hungary

Packed with rare and unpublished photos, superb original artwork, 3D maps and diagrams, explores the Regia Marina's warships, command structures, intelligence, relations with other Allied navies, as well as a thorough history of Adriatic naval actions, most of which have never been written about in English. Illustrated throughout with 40 archive photos and 13 pages of original color illustrations.
