Chamberlain and Ellis published a history of the development of the Carrier from 1914 to 1972 including the Llyod, the Universal, the Windsor, the T16, the Oxford and the Cambridge, all the various variants (including the various 2 pdr gun versions in Australia, Canada and UK) the Mantis etc etc. Long out of print now but I've found myself having to refer back to it time after time. However there is a limit to how much can be covered in 80 pages and new research often throws up new information - hence this current thread. I've always found it interesting how historians covering, say the Peninsular War, can be so dogmatic about their conclusions when we are still trying to uncover exactly what happened 60 years ago - in living memory.
