Aviation Specials | HMS Hood: The Pride and Fall
HMS Hood: The Pride and Fall is a powerful commemorative bookazine marking 85 years since the Royal Navy’s most iconic battlecruiser was lost in action against Bismarck on May 24, 1941.
At once a symbol of British naval supremacy and a tragic warning from a new age of warfare, Hood was a towering presence in the interwar period and a national emblem during the early years of World War Two.
This richly illustrated tribute tells the complete story: from her design and construction, to her glory years as flagship of the fleet, to the final fatal minutes in the Denmark Strait.
Combining expert analysis, archive imagery, personal accounts and wreck discovery insights, this is both a technical history and a deeply human story of courage, sacrifice and loss.
"We thank Britain at War’s John Ash for assembling a great issue that will certainly help in maintaining Hood's memory – the inclusion of a Roll of Honour really brings home the loss which we at the HMS Hood Association see at every reunion.” Chairman, HMS Hood Association.
