Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. T. A. Flowers (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. 56 pages. Illustrations. General Statistics. References. Resources. Steve Wiper has done the Omaha Class justice as it's one of the lesser known classes of cruisers that served our country during WWII. Outdated in appearance even when they were first designed, the ten ships of the Omaha class were the first of the US Navy's 'modern' cruisers to be built in the post-WW1 era. They were to serve around the world showing the flag in the interwar years and to give valued service during the Second World War. One was to be transferred to the Soviet Navy, while the rest were quickly sold and scrapped postwar. Steve Wiper has collected a nice assortment of photos of these ten ships during their lifetimes and has presented them all in this volume. The book opens with an overview of their reason to be, followed by chapters devoted to each ship in turn. These consist of career highlights as well as various photos of the ship in question. There are 68 photos within its 56 pages, many of which are full page. Photo Album stated on the front cover. A resource guide, covering all ships of the Omaha Class Cruisers, with official U.S. Navy photos, highlighted history and a statistical sheet for each vessel.
