Flush Decks and Four Pipes,
By
This review is from: Flush Decks and Four Pipes (Hardcover)
John D. Alden is a retired U. S. Navt Commander with an eye for detail and the ability to make Naval history come alive.In his book "Flush Decks and Four Pipes", Mr. Alden examines the early class of U.S. destroyers known as 'four pipers' or 'four stackers'. He follows them from their inception in 1917 through all their service, including World War II. Not only that, Mr. Alden provides a record of each of the 273 four stackers (indexed by hull number and name), including its commissioning and decommissioning dates and its ultimate fate. The book is filled with black and white photographs and stories of particular four stackers, including illustrations of several that were overhauled or converted as time went by. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the old four piper destroyers. The only thing it lacks are some color plates which would help modelers and others to visualize paint schemes. |
