The designs covered by the title are wide-ranging, from U-boats and hydrofoils, to submarines, explosive motorboats and even aircraft carriers. Not simply presenting information on functioning prototypes, this book highlights a number of theoretical projects for hydrofoils, landing craft and heavy surface units, among many others, including technical examinations of the 'Z-Plan' Kreigsmarine build up and the ill-fated Graf Zeppelin, which was abandoned halfway through the war. It also features little-studied designs, like tracked amphibious vehicles equipped with breathing gear, as well as the Luftwaffe-designed Siebel ferries that saw considerable service on the Eastern front. All the information is extremely well-illustrated, being accompanied by detailed drawings, action-packed photographs and artist's impressions of the different crafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLawrence Paterson\u003c\/b\u003e has written several books on various aspects of the U-boat war, including \u003ci\u003eU-Boat War Patrol\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWeapons of Desperation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDonitz's Last Gamble\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHitler's Grey Wolves \u003c\/i\u003eand a new biography of Otto Kretschmer.
