I haven't been reading this so much as I've been soaking it in.
I own the other two volumes in this series and I'm utterly blown away at what an amazing draftsman John Lambert was. I've spent hours studying his "Anatomy of the Ship" books on the submarine Alliance and the Fairmile D MGBs, but this series just takes the detail to another level. My review, with some pictures: https://www.amazon.com/review/R312A7...SIN=152677710X |

I've been browsing through the new Scharnhorst "Anatomy of the Ship" the last two weeks. It's fairly decent but nowhere as detailed on a structural or mechanical level as the "Anatomies" published in the 80s and 90s.

That site has some incredible deals. I've bought a lot from them and have never been disappointed.

I'm currently reading The Silent Deep: The Royal Navy Submarine Service to whittle away the time after the publication of Norman Friedman's British Submarines in the Cold War Era got delayed for the 37th time. My copy of Liberty Factory: The Untold Story of Henry Kaiser's Oregon Shipyards should be coming in today. It certainly wouldn't be the first time I was reading two or more books at one time!

Enjoying reading Lothar-Günther Buchheim's novel "Das Boot", saw the movie when it first came out to the theater.

Been reading Norman Friedman's "US Submarines Since 1945: An Illustrated Design History" for the third time because I'm a glutton for punishment. Actually, I really do enjoy it, it's just EXTREMELY detailed and dense.
I also recently finished reading Bill Yenne's "Building the B-17 Flying Fortress." Kind of dry, but the selection of photographs is incredible. You can read my review here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/...at_pdctrvw_srp |
