A very presentable hardcover in dust jacket of this comprehensive history of all U.S. Navy battleships and battlecruisers built, designed, or projected from the early 1930s to 1992. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Part of a three-volume set on the world's battleships, this book provides a comprehensive history of all U.S. Navy battleships and battlecruisers built, designed, or projected since the early 1930s. It covers their design and construction, operational careers, and eventual disposition. Complete plans are presented for many classes as well as extensive technical data covering their characteristics and performance, information that is sometimes hard to find and often contradictory. The operational careers of the ships are chronicled in detail. Incidents that challenged a ship's design adequacy, particularly from the standpoint of damage resistance, are discussed. Originally published in 1976 with the subtitle U.S. Battleships in World War II, the book has undergone significant revision. Not only has it been brought up to date with the addition of a new chapter covering the Iowa-class reactivation through 1992, but the book now includes revelations uncovered in newly accessible material. The authors offer a complete description and analysis of the tragic turret explosion aboard the USS Iowa in April 1989, with conclusions that differ from those widely reported by the media and from those officially presented by the Navy. In an appendix, they bring to light for the first time the full extent of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's involvement in the shaping of the U.S. fleet and credit him with influencing the design, construction, and deployment of battleships and battlecruisers built during his administration. For example, they cite Roosevelt as the individual responsible for the speed and endurance of the Alaska-class battleships and the design and construction of the Alaska-class battlecruisers and for controlling the number, general characteristics, gunnery, and anti-aircraft armament of other classes as well. In addition, this massive work now offers information about the secret development of accurate long-range major-caliber gunfire control in the period before World War II, the proposed conversion of the Iowa and Alaska ships to aircraft carriers, and the twin-skeg problems encountered by battleships. Ship histories have been updated to include details about the service of the four reactivated Iowa battleships and their recent retirements. (Publisher).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the historical fiction, 'WASHITA! Weird Custer' the author draws heavily from historical anecdotes with his speculations as to what really occurred in the Valley of the Washita that during the unseasonable cold front that stalled over the Oklahoma Indian Territory in November1868; replete with a cavalcade of colorful, complex characters from the dust bins of history. November 1868 finds peace loving, Army fearing Chief Black Kettle startled from beneath his buffalo fur blankets in the warmth of his tepee. Once more, the bane of the Cheyenne - George Armstrong Custer, arrives unannounced and uninvited to a little 'pow wow' of his own machinations. The historical fiction sheds light on the unpopular schizophrenic, bi-polar President Johnson - under pressure to take action against the depredations of the Cheyenne. He chooses Custer to be the instrument of his corrective policy.Custer finds more than he bargained for in the infamous attack on the unsuspecting village, when he rifles through loot stolen from the homesteads of murdered settlers.Deep inside the Oklahoma Indian Territory, Chief Black Kettle can't control his restless young braves, who return from another raid on homesteads - loaded with scalps, loot, and captives. The pacifistic chief, along with his peace loving co-chief Little Rock are worried. Black Kettle is concerned that the Army may attack at anytime; he's paranoid - and he needs to be. Custer's wife, Elizabeth and his sister, Margaret hold down the fort back in Fort Dodge, Kansas. But they don't do it alone - they've got their close friend Beverly and their maid - the escaped former slave, Eliza.The moving orb of oscillating colors that was present on the morning of the attack has often been ascribed as being the planet Venus - the Morning Star. But was it really Or could it have been something else.WASHITA! Weird Custer is replete with well documented historical fact, lesser known historical trivia, and descriptive fiction to fill in the nebulous mysteries unexplained by history.…
