Series: Graphic War

Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey into the heart of naval warfare during World War II with Graphic War Navy. Following the success of Graphic War: The Secret Aviation Drawings and Illustrations of World War II, Donald Nijboer unveils a treasure trove of top-secret drawings that have remained unpublished.

This meticulously curated collection showcases a wealth of training manuals, vibrant wartime posters, and captivating illustrations. Scouring archives around the world, Nijboer has included naval material from Great Britain, The United States, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, and Italy.

One of the highlights of Graphic War Navy is the stunning cutaway drawings of naval vessels and their armaments. These visuals played a pivotal role in the strategies of both Allied and Axis forces. In an era where there was limited intelligence about enemy craft, these illustrations were indispensable.

Delve into the world of anonymous graphic artists and technical illustrators who, though unrecognized in their time, left an indelible mark on history. Their work, revived within these pages, offers a rare glimpse into war room tactics and the training of personnel.

Whether you're a naval enthusiast, a modeller, an artist, or simply someone fascinated with World War II history, Graphic War Navy promises an enthralling insider's view of the epic battles fought in the vast expanse of the open sea.
