I have uploaded a cover for Billy Mitchell: Crusader for Air Power by Alfred F. Hurley. This cover is from the 1964 Franklin Watts edition.

I have uploaded a cover for The Last Century of Sea Power. Volume 1, From Port Arthur to Chanak, 1894–1922 by H. P. Willmott. This depicts the British battle line at Jutland.

Thanks for your reply on Wilson and Martin. (I got "Wilson" wrong, too, and thought you had jumped into a later era with (Woodrow) "Wilson" and (Bill) "Clinton".) Would that Clinton be DeWitt Clinton who ran for president, but in one of the old pre-jacksonian (not"popular vote")elections? -- And I suppose others in the Clinton family were important.

This is just curiosity, but I wondered:
What is the full name of the "Martin" mentioned
in your post in the ". . .Favorite Historical" thread
between (Benjamin) Franklin and (Woodrow) Wilson?

The only Martin in U.S. politics I could think of
was Joe Martin (R MA), a Minority Leader in the House
during the FDR and
Truman years.

I'm going to have to imitate your library -- it looks like we have a lot in common in terms of interest, but the depth of your reading is incredible.
