Title: Great Pictures, Inaccurate History
Product review: This book has a lot of great pictures, but there is no excuse for sloppy errors like this one:On p22, it states the USS Lexington (CV2) underwent an extensive upgrade in 1943-1944. On p23, it correctly states that CV2 went down in the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942. They later correctly state that the Essex class carrier scheduled to be named Cabot was renamed Lexington (CV16), commissioned in 1943. The writer must have seen a picture of CV16 from 1944, seen that it looked different than CV2 and written that it was upgraded.Bad job. Go ahead and get the book if you want the pictures, but find another title as a companion to get accurate history.
