Plan Z was the name given to the massive fleet that the Nazis planned to build. However, the plan relied on the outbreak of war occuring in 1942 or later. This book examines the way in which such a fleet could have influenced the major battles between the Royal Navy and the Germans.

Presenting an account of the part played by Britain's railways during the Second World War, this book deals with operational matters & the impact of enemy action. It also looks at monetary arrangements, the part played by railway workshops in producing equipment for the military, & the wartime experience of the railways' ships.

In 1914 the Royal Navy was the largest and most technologically advanced in the world, but had also suffered from almost a century without war. David Wragg shows how Britain's 'Senior Service' adapted to the demands of worldwide conflict.

Looking at the history and achievements of the Great Western Railway, this book includes photographs and diagrams illustrating the GWR's equipment, some railway stations, its network, shipping and air services, and bus operations.
