Good Reference book for the serious modeler,
By Nuwat Chanthaworn (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lock On No. 14 - USS Forrestal "Gateway to the Danger Zone" (Paperback)
This book provides you the details about the activity on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal from the hangar under the deck, the preparation before the launching of the aircraft, during and after the landing , concerned equipment and vehicles. If you're the modeler and seeking for the reference book to build your naval diorama, this book is the best since it consists of over 60 color photos which you can also use as the painting guide.

This review is from: Lock On No. 14 - USS Forrestal "Gateway to the Danger Zone" (Paperback)
Mostly just photos of the air wing, if you were ship's company prepare to be snubbed. In fact if you served aboard her and took some photos yourself save your money and drag out the photo album and cruise books.

Velinden's team has produced another excellent photo expose', this time featuring the air wing of the (now) retired U.S.S. Forrestal. Excellent photo's of the aircraft and deck crew are the feature of this book.
