NAVY'S LITTLE SHIPS
Mr. A. D. Divine, with two wartime books already to his credit, has extended his chronicling of naval activities by writing "Behind the Fleets," an examination of the little ships that work for the Admiralty. Destroyers, minesweepers, anti-submarine trawlers, examination vessels, motor torpedo boats —all the vessels whose job it is to see that the Merchant Navy is unmolested in its unending duty of bringing home to Britain the supplies upon which in wartime she lives and fights—have received in this book the honour which is due to them. It will help the general public to understand the miglity task which they daily meet, and dail.v conquer. "Behind the Fleets." by A. D. Divine (John Murray.)
