That first book looks very good, though kind of pricey. :ping:

Ahh, the book just arrived and came earlier than expected. I was fortunate enough to see that a vendor is now offering this rare gem for only $30.00 (+ S&H). Less than a year ago, there was only one or two copies available and the price was $130.00, and it's not that large of a book.
I noticed one of the reviews saything that the pictures were grainy, etc. but they look pretty good to me. Anyway, that review was there when the price was $130.00 so, I suspect for that price, he can gripe if he wants. Still, having the other more comprehensive radar book, this should do nicely as a supplement. Now, if I could just finish reading Shattered Sword and Halsey's Typhoon.:o

And that nasty "Ulysses" by James Joyce, which has been collecting dust in your shelf for the last 10 years. :|\\

Just correcting a bad memory mistake: It wasn't a horn type design but a type-21 prototype (mattress-type) and it was on the battleship "Ise".
