This book basically looks at the growth of the US Navy in the first half of the most devastating century there has been. It primarily follows the aircraft carrier fleet which when seen in quite a few of the photographs look spectacular. But this is really the look at the birth of a navy from the biggest superpower in the world, so we see from the start how they relied upon airships and bi-planes. This book ends in the period of the Second World War as the US are forced to take on Japan and their naval fleet. after the attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the US into the war. The pictures of these ships are always going to look amazing even just going by the sheer size of them. But the number of planes they held are staggering making for another brilliant book. As usual with these Images of Wat books, the pictures are excellent and the supporting text is first-class written by knowledgeable historians. As always a definite recommendation from me.

If the history of the US armored forces interests you, then this book is a necessary addition to your library. It will appeal to many other tastes too such as reenactors, historians, and uniform / equipment buffs. The title says it is a pictorial history and it delivers in a superb manner on that description. The author must have spent a massive amount of time locating the photos and deserves congratulating on this wonderful book.

The Humvee was a Cold War design, and rather like the British Land Rover (covered by Ben in another of the LandCraft books) it struggled in terms of protection when faced by the challenges of more irregular warfare in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. That has led to the more recent attention towards Mine Protected Patrol vehicles, but that shouldn't detract from the valuable contribution that the Humvee has made to the US military over many years, and how it offers so much variety for modellers. Another helpful addition to the LandCraft series for modellers especially.

He considers the extraordinary difficulties they faced, and analyses how they performed and what they achieved. Were they successful, or were they beaten down by the burden of their roles? His… Read more...
