Anatomy of the Ship: Type VII U-Boat

sharkbit · 08-31-09, 08:30 AM

Just got this from Amazon. Some pretty good photos and enough detailed line drawings to keep a u-boat fan entertained for a while.

There are a lot of others available too, including the Type XXI and a ton of surface ships.

I have this book and I hate to say it, but I was a little disappointed in it. It just seemed a little thin on the details and I've seen better photos and info in other books. Didn't seen anything new in it.

I own about 6 other Anatomy books and they are all great. Maybe I have just been reading too much about U-boats lately?

I have read this but much preferred (and bought) Type VII U-boats by Robert C. Stern, Arms and Armour Press 1991, ISBN 1 86019 8554.

It's not a bad book when taking into account the relatively low cost but there are better available including the one listed above.

I do have both btw.
