| Entry Text: | COLES, Alan, & BRIGGS, Ted. Flagship Hood: The Fate of Britain's Mightiest Warship. xii, 269p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Hale, 1985. ISBN: 0709020244.
A quite excellent biography of the ship, in two halves. Coles gives a conventional operational history to the start of the war, while Briggs, one of the three survivors of the sinking, gives a personal view of the 1939–41 period. Concentrates on the problems. |
