A US historybook...then there is the mistake!
Been doing some research for a Fear God and Dreadnought campaign, the AH Navy was a hell of a lot more active then the history books talk about. From some of the Italian sources, while no major battleship fights, the naval war between them was a intense series of cruiser/destroyer/torpedo boat actions right up until 11/11/18. And the AH had the upper hand.
The whole thing with WWI research is that if it doesn't involve the Western Front or Turky, then there is very little info that is easily available. Most textbooks don't mention the fighting in the Far East at all; might have a paragraph or two on the African Campaign; may have a chapter on Turky and the Near East; only mention in a sentence or two, the fighting in the Balkans and then devote the rest of the section to the Western Front.
