    David Doyle Military Editorial Review

    This book is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in the various types of landing craft used in World War II. It provides detailed information on the design, usage, and variations of these craft, making it a valuable reference for modelers and history enthusiasts. The book follows a simple structure with text introductions for each craft type, accompanied by specifications and a selection of informative photographs. While the book delivers on its promise for the most part, it does have some shortcomings, such as the absence of the LCS(L) and the lack of three-view drawings. However, overall, it is a solid reference book that is highly recommended for those interested in the subject.

    Pros

    • Comprehensive coverage of various types of landing craft
    • Informative text introductions and specifications
    • Large selection of photographs, including detail images
    • Valuable resource for modelers and history enthusiasts

    Cons

    • Absence of the LCS(L)
    • Lack of three-view drawings
