AUSTRALIA'S DEFENCE FORCE

PUBLISHED BY TOPMILL

Fantastic new books on Royal Australian Navy history – Preparing for War The Royal Australian Navy leading into WWII, Australia’s Navy in the Gulf, Australia’s Navy in Vietnam, Australian Warships and Auxiliaries of the 1940s, Aircraft Carriers and Squadrons of the Royal Australian Navy, and Australia’s Navy: 100 Years of War & Peace. With hundreds of photos in each title, they are available in both hardcover and softcover (sorry – only softcover left of Australia’s Navy in Vietnam).
Our earlier Photofile and Profile series cover the history of the Australian Defence Force, with an emphasis on the Royal Australian Navy. For instance, our Frigates book covers all the different types that have served in the RAN, while our Destroyers book covers everything from the captured Komet of the 1900s to the current ANZAC class. The Profile series is mainly pictorial, with images ranging from postcard size to double-page. Historic material abounds—there are hand-coloured postcards of HMAS Australia, and photos of the famous Krait and her “camouflaged” crew. Minesweepers, submarines, destroyers and patrol craft are presented in the series, and details include crew numbers and the fate of each ship. Australian Army Watercraft describes the activities and fates of requisitioned yachts, schooners, luggers, launches and their crews, the unsung heroes of the sea. And Australian Airpower details in two volumes the growth of the Royal Australian Air Force and the aviation branches of the Royal Australian Navy.

	Australia’s Navy - 100 Years of War & Peace A new book describing the inception of the Commonwealth Naval Forces in 1901, renamed the Royal Australian Navy in 1911. Includes detailed descriptions of ship classes, data tables, full index, and hundreds of photos. A handy reference to all Australia’s ships, big and small, and a guide to how the RAN has developed over the last 110 years.
