5.0 out of 5 stars INTRUDE UPON THE INTRUDER/PROWL AROUND THE PROWLER, April 9, 2003

By	M. R. ZOGLIO (CROFTON, MD) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Having thoroughly enjoyed Lock On #16 (Mi-24W HIND E Gunship), I decided to check out the rest of the series to see if they had any of my other favorite aircraft. To my delight, Willy Peeters has done one on the A-6 Intruder. This book is a great 36 page full color tour of the interior and exterior of the A-6 (Intruder/Prowler). It's a welcome addition to Lou Drendel's A-6 Intruder Walk Around (Squadron/Signal Publication) which, itself, contains a fair number of color photos (rare for a S/S book). Peeters does an excellent job of explaining what it is you're looking at in each of the captions. A solid installment to this impressive series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best reference book of A-6s I've ever seen, March 25, 2000

By	Nuwat Chanthaworn (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews

This book shows the details of A-6s especially on VF-176 USS Forrestal, with over 90 photos and description on each photo can bring you into very deep detail in each part of the aircraft. In comparison with the other A-6 books, this book provides sharper photograph and detail. If you're the modeler and you're going to modify your model kit this title is what you should have since the author is also the modeler and the book presents what you'd like to know.
