Printed in an edition of 150 copies.  "Lecture delivered at The Army War

"Jutland. Fifth War College Edition: September, 1926", also by Commander 
Frost, which is a series of diagrams of the battle. Commander Holloway 
Halstead Frost (1889-1935), was an American World War I Navy officer and 
Navy Cross recipient, and at the time of his early death was seen as the 
next great naval power theorist, after Alfred Thayer Mahan. "A widely 
published author, his work ranged the gamut of naval subjects, from 
history to operational analysis to ship-handling. His naval career was 
as distinguished as his literary; he not only was a designated naval 
aviator, but was also qualified for command in submarines" (Wikipedia). 
He wrote a number of books, and was working on a book about the Battle 
of Jutland at the time of his death, which was later completed by Edwin 
Falk.

Staple-bound softcover enclosed in a card folder. 8.5"x11", 18 + 2 
pages, plus 12 photographs + 57 pages. Covers with light wear and soil, 
minor internal soil, a few pen scribbles.[41967]  $250
