Italy followed this trend, the first design for what became <strong>Trento and Trieste being ordered in 1924<\/strong>. These were the fastest of the first generation <em>Treaty<\/em> cruisers, but were very lightly armoured and the succeeding <em>Zara<\/em> class of four ships were slower, but better protected. However, before the final ship of this class (<strong>Pola<\/strong>) had been completed, there was a return to the earlier fast, lightly protected concept with the <strong>Bolzano<\/strong>, although this ship also incorporated aspects of the <em>Zara<\/em> design.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>political background, design history and technical features<\/strong> of these classes are covered in great depth in this volume. They were important ships, subject to incremental improvement so no two were identical, and modelmakers in particular will appreciate the space devoted to the <strong>variations in appearance<\/strong>, using both <strong>description and illustration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As major units of the Italian battlefleet, they were more active than most during the war and <strong>their careers are fully detailed<\/strong>, including <strong>analyses of damage suffered<\/strong>. Tragically, they were all sunk and the full circumstances of <strong>each loss is explored<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As befits a technical history, the book is thoroughly illustrated with <strong>ship and armament plans, detail drawings and colour camouflage schemes<\/strong>, as well as an outstanding collection of <strong>photographs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Edition: 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"sottotitolo\"><span>Subtitle: <\/span>from trento to bolzano<\/p>\n<p class=\"autore\"><span>Author: <\/span>maurizio brescia &#8211; augusto de toro<\/p>\n<p class=\"editore\"><span>Publisher: <\/span>seaforth publishing (pen &amp; sword books)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isbn\"><span>ISBN: <\/span>9781399098854<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3051,2741],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-97641","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-from-1919-to-1945","7":"product_cat-navigation-history","9":"first","10":"onbackorder","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
