Howard Chapelle was one of America's most distinguished naval historians. His crowning achievement, The History of the American Sailing Navy, has long been out-of-print, but its treatment of the subject remains unparallelled. Accompanying the authoritative text are detailed plans of over 50 sailing vessels as well reproductions of contemporary paintings and drawings. Lincoln Colcord said: "Chapelle, in my opinion, has the soundest ideas on the history of naval architecture and the development of American ship types of any man writing on the subject...HIs work will be of permanent historical value."

I had a copy of this book fifty years ago and when I went into the Navy in 1962 I let it get away from me. When I saw it listed at a reasonable price, I snatched it up and it turned out to be in near perfect condition. It contains a wealth of information for a scratch modeler like myself.

I read this book many years ago, a library copy, and have been looking for a copy of my own ever since. If you love sailing ships and/or the history of the United States Navy, this is almost a must-have.

The used copy was in excellent condition. The only deficiency was the missing dust jacket, but I knew about that going in.

El libro un.clasico, nada que objetar.
Lo que no encaja es que te pongan la foto de ejemplar y luego te envien otro, deteriorado, con escrituras, y sin protector.
Decepcionado con el vendedor (despues de contactar me dice que la foto es unicamente para «referencia»), con el contenido...encantado y recomendado para modelistas y/o interesados en el tema.
