I thought they were pricey too until I got a look at the price of the SCE.

ONI 41-42 was reprinted by the US Naval Institute Press in 1987 as Japanese Naval Vessels of World War 2: As Seen by US Naval Intelligence ISBN: 0870213148. Used copies can be found fairly easily...and cheaply...on Amazon and Abebooks.com.

In fact, this reprint contains the following four recognition manuals: ONI-41-42I Index to All Japanese Naval Vessels; ONI 41-42 Japanese Naval Vessels; ONI 220J Japanese Submarines; and ONI 225J Japanese Landing Operations and Equipment.

Thanks for the tip on the book, Donner!

Wish I would have known that before I ordered the CD.

Now I have both.

This seems like a must have for anybody half serious about this sim....

I am not aware of such a book...and I have spent 18 years looking for one!

History-on-CD is the only option at this point.
