During the 1930s, big-game fishing emerged from obscurity to become the new passion of American sportsmen. By decade's end, the capture of gigantic fish on the flimsiest of tackle had become the stuff of front page news. Suddenly . war. This is the fascinating and untold story of how the newly-emerging sport of big-game fishing was plunged headlong into the defining event of the 20th century: World War II. That big-game fishing was severely impacted by the war is no surprise, but the contributions of the angling community to the Allied war effort were equally vast. The story of how each impacted the other is both surprising and compelling, and here it is.

The book begins with the sudden emergence of big-game fishing in the 1930s and concludes with a look at the wartime-related technologies and adventures that sparked a veritable explosion in postwar angling. Incredible stories of both angler/authors and angler/warriors add richness and life to this remarkable tale, including a special foreword by legendary pioneer Alfred C. Glassell, Jr., whose catch of a 1,560 lb black marlin is the largest tackle record of this species for more than 50 years.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2010). 2010 1st edition. Large 4to (235 x 307mm). Ppviii,256. Colour and b/w illustrations from old prints throughout. Blue cloth, spine titled in silver-gilt. Small tear to dust-wrapper o/w a very good copy. Covering approximately three centuries, David Beazley's story brings together a history of printmaking and a social history of angling in Britain. It reproduces over 350 illustrations of angling, created by more than 150 artists and as many printmakers. Several artists merit their own chapter - George Morland, Henry Alken, James Pollard, H.L. Rolfe, W. Dendy Sadler and Norman Wilkinson - and other great British artists like John Constable and J.M.W. Turner are also represented. Humourists from Henry Bunbury and Thomas Rowlandson to G.E. Studdy and H.M. Bateman have a place, and there are chapters on political cartoons, young lovers fishing for each other's hearts, children fishing and many other subjects. And of course there are illustrations of people trying - and sometimes managing - to catch fish, images that reveal how this wonderful sport has evolved. A comprehensive section explains all the processes used in producing the prints. With over 20 pages of indexes, this important study draws on many sources: historical, biographical and artistic. It will meet the needs for many years to come of collectors, dealers and all those who love the history of fishing as much as they love fishing itself. .
