Mr. Lambert is an expert on Coastal Forces craft, specifically those of the British Royal Navy. That is readily apparant from reading this book and his being a draughtsman puts him into a league of his own when it comes to line drawings which he does from actual plans from the Admiralty.
These two factors combine to make this book a “must have” for those who are interested in these types of vessels.

This is the best book about british Fairmile D as I know. Ideal for modelers (contains a thousands of drawings). John Lambert is still the best author of books from Anatomy series. If You want to make a model of british Fairmile - this is the most important book for You. Very recommended. I can’t find the words to thank Mr. Lambert for writing this book.

The British Fairmile Motor Torpedo Boats were 120 feet long, half again the length of the American boats. They were also much more heavily armed, much more like the German E-Boats. During World War II they were mass produced and used in a wide variety of tasks from air sea rescue, mine laying, coast line patrol, etc.
In this book, John Lambert gives an exhaustive coverage of the boat. His concentration is on the D model, the most heavily armed, but he also covers the earlier craft that preceeded the D.
The book is profusely illustrated with what seems like most, if not all, of the pictures ever taken of the boats. With his encyclopedic knowledge of the vessels, many of the illustrations are commented with details of changes made to the boat after it left the factory. In addition, there are numerous line drawing of the various boats that show precisely the details sometimes obscured in photographs.

One of the first in the series but really, really, well researched! Not that most people would be particularly interested in the every single detail of this particular type of torpedo boat, it’s just really well written. By far the most passionate of this series.
This type of boat was mass produced both in kit form in the US and in the UK. It was a coastal defender and also a long range rescue boat for downed airmen in WWII. The complete history of the boat, as well as the fate of every vessel. Excellent photos and line drawings that are the signature of this series. Every major variant and perfect for a scratch modeller.
