A Picture Paints a Thousand Words - Rated This is a book of technical drawings detailing one of the two most powerful battleships ever built. There is relatively little text. The Yamato was the Combined Fleet flagship during the Battle of Midway and fought in the action off Samar in the collection of battles now remembered as the Battle of Leyte Gulf. She was later sunk while on a kamikaze mission against the US fleet off Okinawa. Many of the records of her building and details were lost/destroyed as the end of the war approached but the Polish author has many contacts in Japan and has based his drawings on the best information available to date. This is undoubtedly a book for modellers, serious historians or people who love technical drawings for their aesthetic value. I loved it, (and his other two titles in this series are even better)but it is definitely not for everyone. A technical masterpiece - Rated Another of the superb anatomy of the ship series. This one stands out as little was known about the Yamato even as she sank the US werent sure what they were sinking. This makes the ultra detailled drawings even more incredible. Every single detail represented in exquisite drawings right down to cutaways of the different ammunition carried. Whether youre building a model of the ship or just interested in the Yamato, this is the ultimate reference work.
