More than the other books that have appeared so far in this new digital series, this title is essentially a reissue of the print original with some new sections. There are a few upgrades like photos that are now in color instead of black and white and most photos are of higher resolution than the print original. One thing that did not get upgraded were the adequate but not outstanding line drawings by Lloyd S. Jones. Much more detail can be worked into these drawings when created and displayed digitally but Detail & Scale scanned in the print drawings.
The markings section was a welcome addition. Here we had color profiles of the SBD in all the various paint schemes worn throughout the war. The text describing these schemes was comprehensive as well. The modelling section was also greatly expanded over the original, both in words and pictures. If you are a modeller you won't be disappointed with the detailed reviews. There are also long lists of kits, aftermarket detailing kits, and decals.
One might have hoped for at least a table of squadrons in which the SBD served but all we get are a few mentions throughout the text. One could also have wished for some more computer graphics like instrument panels and cockpit details that have appeared in other digital D&S titles but we get none of that.
The book is highly recommended if one does not already own the print original. Other excellent Dauntless books have appeared in the interim (MMP's Dauntless book comes to mind) but this is still a worthwhile purchase. If one has the print original, decide for oneself if the camouflage, markings, and modelling additions are worth it.
Great book! You get so much more in the digital edition. Downloaded and opened on my Fire HDX without a problem. Don't be scared off by the negative review.
Another great book in the D+S series. It has so much more information vs the old print edition. I'm looking froward to more releases. Good bang for the buck and paperback D+S books hold value in the secondary market. I sell them to buy the digital copy when it come out.
