These include definitive histories of such famous battles as Operation Pedestal the convoy that saved Malta in August 1942 and the Battle of Midway in the Pacific Ocean the same year as well as individual ship histories, historical surveys like the Royal Navy Courts Martial down the centuries and Preserved Historic ships; and current subjects like Ferries and Cruise Ships.
There are detailed individual aircraft histories, unsurpassed in their depth

Essentially then, the aim of this site is to:-
1: Give salient details on myself and my published and prepared books in all their different editions to date.
2: Make my work known to a much larger readership and so enable the facts I have unearthed from original and hitherto scorned sources and eyewitness accounts and so bring fresh perspectives and insights to their subjects.
A gentleman wrote to me from Switzerland telling me how much he enjoyed my approach, which he described as, “...iconoclastic and heterodox criticism which seems full of common sense.” That is my aim and I shall certainly continue to question the more banal and speculative outpourings on these various subjects as long as I am able.
Aside from the normal wish of any Author to ensure that the work they produce reaches the maximum possible audience, this site has been established to showcase more than 50 years of original research. In addition to the UK, my books have been published in Australia, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Malta, Russia, Sweden and the United States and with French and Spanish editions also due shortly.
