" Angels in Blue Jackets: The Navy at Messina, 1908" by J.W. Wilson and Roger Perkins offers a detailed account of the Royal Navy's humanitarian response to the catastrophic earthquake that struck Messina, Italy, in December 1908. The disaster devastated the city, resulting in massive loss of life and infrastructure. The book meticulously documents the Royal Navy's efforts in rescue operations, medical aid, and support to the affected population, highlighting the significant role played by naval personnel in alleviating the crisis. It also includes comprehensive records of the ships involved and the individuals who participated in the relief efforts.

Beyond the immediate response, the authors delve into the broader implications of the Navy's involvement, examining how this mission influenced naval humanitarian practices and international relations. The narrative underscores the compassion and dedication of the sailors, portraying them as true "angels in blue jackets" who extended help beyond their call of duty. This work serves as both a historical record and a tribute to the selfless service of those who contributed to one of the early 20th century's significant humanitarian missions."
