The development of weapons, radar and new boats, among other tables of data that make this book a fascinating account of U-boats under the Nazi flag. The author's father was lost at sea on his 13th operational tour with U-377 in January 1944. 1988 Hardback edition with dust jacket. 144 pages, 124 black and white photos, glossary, countless charts, maps and diagrams, no index.
