U.S. Navy Battleships Camouflage 1941-1945 (DATEAPR22) PRE-ORDER

Description

The book is devoted entirely to the question of how US battleships were painted during the Second World War – from the moment the United States joined the war following the Japanese attack on the naval base in Pearl Harbor until the day of Japanese capitulation aboard the battleship USS Missouri on September 2, 1945. The reader will find in this book specially-commissioned colour plates presenting all the American battleships used in this period, a large number of historical photographs illustrating the variety of camouflage used and information on guidelines, painting schemes and paints used on all 27 American battleships that took part in World War II.
