RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Restoring a Biber (or Beaver) midget submarine

["Jens Laland" <laland@artematrix.org>]

Ray...

Good to hear you say this... :)

Are you familiar with the book "Die Seehunde - Klein-U-Boote, Letzte
deutsche Initiative im Seekrieg 1939-1945" by Klaus Mattes; Verlag E.S.
Mittler & Sohn GmbH, 1995, ISBN 3-8702-0484-7, 224 pages.

The book presents a thouroughly presentation of the Seehunde design,
complete with excellent documentation in the form of technical data,
images, sketches, drawings, etc., etc.

In addition it has a big section covering the various operational aspects
of the type, and finally it also has an interesting coverage of what the
french navy used it for after the war was over (up to the mid-50s).

regards,
Jens
