Les AVISOS COLONIAUX.Tome 01.

Designed for use in the colonies, these ships (8 of these were put into service) had a long career, often turbulent, in the Navy from 1931 to the oldest, until the late 50s for the last . Henri Landes has devoted over twenty years of research and he gives his work in two very detailed volumes representing a single work. This first volume deals with sloops Bougainville, Dumont d'Urville, Savorgnan de Brazza and D'Entrecasteaux. About 400 pages and over 600 photos. 300 plans & drawings (including 4 pages in A3 format) and 10 color profiles.
