That book is the first in the new series put out by Squadron pub. You brought up the question about the color. I spoke with Steve Wiper from Classic warship and he has found some info on the color in his research. He will put this in his Arizona book he has slated for the future. He said people are not going to be happy with what he found. Let the controversy begin!!

Sounds good, but what did you mean by "it's not really"?.

Thanks for the review. I'll look for it.

U.S.S. ARIZONA - A DARNED INFORMATIVE BOOK
Posted by tankerbuilder on Sunday, November 6, 2011 3:54 PM

I just purchased from my fave hobby shop (HILL COUNTRY HOBBY SHOP ) a very good book about the ARIZONA , nothing BUT the ARIZONA from beginning to end . Even this book U.S.S.ARIZONA -SQUADRON AT SEA  is this well done tome (it,s not really). This book ,put out by SQUADRON/SIGNALPUBLICATIONS, here in CARROLTON,TEXAS is not clear about the color on that terrible day.There were pictures I,ve NEVER seen . And in the credits they even thank , researcher at large TRACY WHITE .TRACY did supply some photos from his collection . It is a great format in trying to figure out which era to place her .Either that fateful day or the many years from the keel laying to that day . There is still questions as to her color raging even today . I painted my clients model to resemble the model at the memorial.        tankerbuilder .  p.s. I would definitely add this to your library if you do ships . Well, if you don,t you should get it anyway .
