Customer Reviews
as a reference its awesome - Rated excellent, I don't know if its below par, but it captures enough detail for me to go ahead with a project Battleship Bispmarck (Anatomy of the ship) - Rated Having read other books of the series, this one is less then I'd expected. The drawings are of good quality, but, studying photos, not entirely accurate. There is much more material available to expand the book to 256 pages or so. A few 3D drawings like in the book Dreadnought would surely make the book more worthwhile. Too much expected - Rated For probably the most famoush warship of the 20th century, we could have expected better from the usually brilliant "Anatomy of the Ship" series. In this volume, the drawings are of an exceptionally high standard and clarity- even by the high standards of the series. However, details of ammunition, for example, are sadly lacking. The test provides a decent brief history, and that's as much as is ever expected in this series- there can be little new by now. The weakest part of the book is the photographic section. Given access to the shipbuilder's archives, it's disapointing that the author hasn't done better. True, most of the photo's were new to me, but didn't reveal anything in particular. Without doubt, these are the best plans of Bismarck I've seen in book form, but the rest of the volume lets them down somewhat. Overall, a worthwhile book, but one that should have been much better.
