It is a bit biased on the french side of the channel, though. The good thing
is that you can download the complete book from the web site of the École
Nationale de la Marine Marchande de Marseille:

Thank you very much for pointing out this item online. I spent last evening reading it. It was interesting to see a French perspective (perspective c.1931, that is) on the history of navigation and especially lunars.
