A classic in its genre, Fred T. Jane's history of the British battle fleet focuses on how naval ships came to be--their development from crude warships of the past to intricate and complex machines in the early 1900s.

John Fredrick Thomas Jane was the founding editor of reference books on warships (All the World's Fighting Ships) and aircraft (All the World's Airships) and the namesake of what would become Jane's Information Group and many of its publications.
