Each vessel covered is illustrated with incredibly detailed drawings, in color and are very well done.  Almost too well, as the publisher has reduced them to a size that some of the finer details are very difficult to see.  None the less, the illustrations are outstanding. Every known camouflage pattern on each vessel is covered, and where some camouflage information is unknown, the author states so. Both a side, sometimes both sides when necessary, and top view are provided.  Aerial recognition markings are covered and illustrated. Another great detail about these illustrations, is the alterations to the warships over their career are correctly drawn. That also makes this work something more than just a history on the camouflage painting of these warships. I have only one real criticism.  I would have liked to have seen each and every color called out on each and every drawing, as some of the grays are very close to one another in their tone, making it difficult to determine which color you are looking at.  Some black and white, and a few color photographs are also provided to back up the work of the illustrations, to show that they are not just fanciful illusions.
