20 postcards and postcard-sized photographs, all relating to the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck. Most images taken aboard the HMS Victorious. The Victorious played a key role in the final destruction of the Bismarck, as many of the Swordfishes which would eventually locate the German battleship were launched from her decks.
