Product Description
No other warship is so intimately connected with Canada's naval heritage as the ubiquitous corvette of the Second World War. Despite the importance of the corvette to Canadian history, no reliable history of the class has ever been published. In an attempt to fill the gap, this book is a concise, popular account of the corvette in Canadian service during the Second World War: its design, equipment, employment, modifications, victories, losses and final disposal. Plans by John McKay feature the original corvette design.

I have read this book several times. The authors give a clear picture of the Corvette's history; as a class of warship,regarding its development and modification during the war. I heartily recommend the book for its historical perspective. Its store of photographs for the historian and especially for the modeller of that great little ship.
