Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers on Deck (Walk Around/On Deck) Paperback – 28 Jan. 2020

Good book for reference, could have had more text, for explanations. But it does what it says on the tin.

The book was not a first edition published in 2020 as amazon claim in their product description. It was published in 2009 and thus it contains no data nor photographs after this period.

Sadly,small in size but LARGE in photos! Excellent informative little book. A must for carrier vets.

this is one book that should be in the library of anyone who loves carriers, especially when you have served on them.

Of course, the primary audience for this book is modelers - excellent color photos throughout of all of the nuclear powered aircraft carriers in the US Navy. The only technical data are in the captions, which get very repetitious after a few pages. Each photo caption ends with `this carrier was serving on in the Persian Gulf for 120 days' or some such information. That's ok for the first few shots of a particular CVN, but with such limited space, the author could have used this space to point out a few items of interest that the average reader might not have picked up on.Aside from that observation, this book is everything you'd want it to be - shows the planes, supporting crew, below decks, bridge, navigation stations, ships in dry docks & under construction. There are many very interesting photos on high glossy paper.This On Deck book serves its purpose, I bought it to help me build a model of the USS Nimitz and it's an affordable addition to the ol' library.

excellent!
