By Norman Friedman
Ships Plans By A D Baker III
From Baird Maritime:
Norman Friedman is very well known in the world of naval history. He has written many books on a variety of naval subjects. Your reviewer suspects, though, that destroyers are his favourites.
A D Baker is less well-known but he deserves considerable credit for his contribution to the very high quality of this book. His drawings are simply brilliant.
All up, therefore, we have a treasure of a book. All the usual scholarly thoroughness of Friedman combined with the works of art of Baker. Naval history simply doesn't get better.
Of course, the subject also helps. Britain's destroyers have been wonderful and exciting little ships, particularly in the early days. This beautiful book does them great credit.
