2.0 out of 5 stars
Little more than a list of ships.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Aircraft Carriers of the U.S. Navy (Hardcover)
I have to admit I was a little disappointed in this one. Not only does the author (who happens to be German) make totally unnecessary (and very unprofessional!) side-swipes at the British Royal Navy in a book about the US Navy, but when it come down to specific ships I found the information sadly lacking. In one instance, for example, the "Service History" of one vessel was a mere 17 words. Not enough.
In another instance we are advised to read certain magazine articles written by the author to compliment what appears in this book. The fact that those articles were in the German language and were, therefore, published in Germany leaves me somewhat perplexed. These publishers are a leading authority on books about Ships and Shipping and I felt let down by this book. Nevertheless, it is a useful list of most (though not all!) types of US Aircraft Carrier and in many ways I can see how it could well be a good place to start that all-important research. NM |
