British Military Timepieces
by Dr Konrad Knirim
Dr Konrad Knirim came to fame when he
produced his book on German Military Timepieces in 1998.
His new book, British Military
Timepieces describes all British Military Timepieces: the
chronometers of the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, deck watches and
chronographs of all three services, pocket watches and wrist
watches. It includes obscure timers from dark room clocks, radar
camera watches, timers for PR cameras, and watches in camera guns.
British Military Timepieces contains 793 pages and describes over
1000 timepieces with excellent supporting photographs throughout.
It is bi-lingual with each page having two texts; English to the left
and German to the right.
From an aviation point of view the
description of aircraft clocks and aircrew watches from the RFC, the
RNAS, the RAF and the FAA is superb. The photograph below is of a
Smiths Mk IIIa aircraft clock, with a Jaeger 330 cal movement that was
fitted to the Handley Page Hampden bomber of 1939. There are also
sections on Japanese, Australian, US French and Canadian aircrew
watches.
British Military Timepieces is
available at the discounted price of £159 (pounds
sterling) plus postage and packing.
