5.0 out of 5 stars
Yup, it's that good,
By
This review is from: Essex-Class Carriers (Warship Design Histories) (Hardcover)
If you are a model builder or are just interested in the technical details of the Essex class, this is the book for you. While there are a fair number of good, clear photos of the class from WW2 to their retirement, it is the plans that make this book so valuable. A few representative carriers are given full 3 page wide side and top views. For the rest, you get plans of each deck, plans of the different islands, plans of all of the armaments fitted and the radar installations, etc. For the modeler, this is the best resource out there. The Anatomy of the Ship book on the Intrepid is a close second but suffers in that it only represents one specific carrier. If you're interested in excellent and thorough plans of the wartimne Essex carriers, this is your book. Add the Intrepid book and you're thoroughly covered. if you're interested in the post-war modifications than this book will also serve your purposes.

2.0 out of 5 stars
No, it isn't THAT good and not worth the expense,
By A reader (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essex-Class Carriers (Warship Design Histories) (Hardcover)
Just a heads up for all you researchers out there...This book is a good book with several good layouts but it is WAY to expensive to justify the material when there is another book out there that is vastly superior. And though this $100.00 book alone is dedicated to the development of the Essex class aircraft carrier I found FAR more material and details about the Essex carrier in Norman Friedman's U.S. Aircraft Carriers. And Friedman's U.S. Aircraft Carriers covers them ALL and at half the cost. Don't spend the money!
