Description:
Selected US Navy Missiles of the Cold War is the latest of Peter Alway’s supplements to Rockets of the World and completes his Cold War series. It covers the incredibly rapid development of strategic and tactical missiles developed by the US Navy during the Cold War, by way of 17 specific systems and their variants (detailed in the “Contents” below).
Like all booklets in this series, each rocket gets a detailed dimensioned reference drawing. While all of the photos and illustrations are reproduced in black and white, the drawings include the complete color data you need to paint your models accurately with a color rendering of each on the cover.
