...I think Kagero has done a fine job with this visual guide to the Bismarck. With that said, I feel this makes the book very recommendable, especially to the shipbuilders that like to super detail their builds. * www.inscale.org * Make no mistake, this is a quality publication... With a multitude of kits available, from tabletop wargamer models at 1/3000 all the way up to radio control models at 1/96 (or even larger), this is a good addition to the ship modeller's bookshelf; I myself will utilise it. * www.scaleplasticand rail.com * If you needed a good example of what computer imagery can do these days, then this really has to be it. Simply superb! * www.militarymodelling.com *
Reseña del editor:
The German battleship Bismarck is one of the most famous warships in history. The lead ship of her class, she was named after German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. At the time of her build, she was the largest warship ever commissioned. Despite her fame, Bismarck took part in only one operation during her brief career. She and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen left Gotenhafen on the morning of 19 May 1941 for Operation Rheinubung, during which she was to intercept and destroy convoys between the United States and Great Britain. When Bismarck and Prinz Eugen attempted to break out into the Atlantic, they were discovered by the Royal Navy and were attacked in Denmark Strait. During the short engagement, the British flagship battlecruiser, HMS Hood, was sunk after several minutes of firing. In response, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued the order to "Sink the Bismarck," spurring a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy. Two days later, Swordfish biplanes launched from the carrier HMS Ark Royal torpedoed the Bismarck. In the ensuing battle on the morning of 27 May 1941, Bismarck was heavily attacked for almost two hours before finally sinking and taking many German soldiers to their watery grave.
