| This book is the first in a series of books covering some of the famous ships of war. This one is a joint effort by Robert Sumrall and Thomas Walkowiak and covers the History of the USS Kidd in photo's, text, and drawings. | |||
| The book has a number of nice detail photo's showing all areas of the ship. Most are of good quality but some are a little on the blurry side. The most useful ones are the detail shots taken at New York Navy Yard. |

| Included are a number of drawings showing Kidd in her 1943, 44, 45 and 60 appearance. My favorite is the color rendering by Paul Bender of the Kidd in her MS-31 10d camouflage pattern. On the next page is a camo design sheet showing that pattern in more detail. |  |
||
| There are a number of in action photo's that show the Kidd operating in the Pacific. Photo's and diagrams of the of the Kamikaze attack on the Kidd are also included. |  |
||
| This 8-1/4" x 11" soft book has 40 pages and is a great resource for
anyone who is interested in the Kidd or other Square bridge Fletcher
class destroyers. At only $8.50 US it is a good value.
