True, a carrier is big, but a battleship head on is just....massive!

Do put up what you think about that B-25 book when it arrives old chap, that's a good boy.....
Have seen some very mixed reviews on that one don't you know....

Will do old bean, For the most part I am thinking positive as I have had very good luck with books by Schiffer publishing and have not been disappointed. The one I am cursious about is the B-17's in the Pacific. Its 468 pages long and I have not seen to many books on that subject.

Excellent Paul, I really like William Wolf's books though the editing can be somewhat lacking at times.

I'll have to see if I can't find the B-17 book. Martin Caiden did a little on it in his book but I'd like to know more.
And here I was going to say Wolf seemed a little arrogant to me. Have his B-32 book and the fact that he left out the XB-32 picture with the remote quad fifty peek-a-boo turrets sorta goes against a claim of ultimate to me...just sayin'... Heard another similar complaint about one of his books on line...
Aaron if your talking about Martin Caidens B-17 book I got it on Amazon for 1 cent. Cost more for shipping and handling then anything. I picked it just because it has some good reviews and well was so cheap to be honest. I really dont know what to expect out of that one.

I'll be damned, I just checked and you are absolutely correct.

I got mine from the school library for free. They were going to throw it away because it was in such bad shape, still had all it's pages and photos but the cover was gone. I have had it for 30 years and have read it multiple times. I think it is a great book. But Caiden was known for stretching the truth to sell a book.

Interesting one Jan!

True, 400+ pages I think. Saw one for the IJN Master Wayne, but it got trashed in the reviews! 
Looking to get Shattered Sword and the two The First Team books by Lundstrom later...I hope!

Shattered Sword is amazing. SYSCOM3 turned me on to it.

Second that comment. Jan, I highly recommend Shattered Sword.

Should go just nicely with these two then, right?
The First Team: Pacific Naval Air Combat from Pearl Harbor to Midway
The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign: Naval Fighter Combat from August to November 1942
Both by Lundstrom....
