The Boys' Book of SubmarinesFrederick A. Stokes Company, 1917 - 220 pages "Indeed, so wonderful is the submarine and so great are her possibilities that you should by all means know exactly how she is made and works, as well as her torpedoes. The easiest and certainly the most interesting way to find out about these things is to read this book and then build a model submarine and torpedoes according to the simple directions we have given."--Page viii. |
