Known worldwide as the founder of Jane’s Fighting Ships, [Fred T. Jane] turned out to be much more than just a naval expert.... [his] approach to his work always remained that of the visual artist.... [His drawings] demonstrate Jane’s immense energy and powers of imagination better than any amount of words. — Richard Brooks, pp. vii-viii
