(More customer reviews)This is one in a series of outstanding research guides into the many times confusing aspects of U.S. Naval activities during WWII. Jeff Warner has placed years of pain-staking research into a subject seldom seen in print media. The result is an expensive, but thorough work detailing every tiny aspect of US Navy uniforms and insignia. The book is large and filled with many full page color photographs which allow examination of tailoring, color and detail of subject which is lacking in previous books on the same subject. For the historian, the reenactor or family researcher, this is the ultimate guide to U.S. Navy uniforms of the period.

Volume five in the series, this book provides a detailed study of the traditional sack coat, frock coat, and jumper/bellbottom trouser uniforms worn by the American Navy throughout World War II. Additionally, cold weather outfits, khakis, dungarees and working uniforms worn by Seabees, beach battalions and shore parties are highlighted. With over 1,200 previously unpublished contemporary and archival illustrations, documents and reconstructions, this is truly an epic volume. Special focus is devoted to rare and unusual tailor made uniforms featuring "liberty cuffs" and custom embroidery. Original experimental uniforms tested in 1946 are featured for the first time in any reference book. Also included are women's WAVE, Nurse Corps and Flight Nurse uniforms with heretofore unequaled coverage. As a bonus, the complete 1941 U.S. Navy Uniform Regulations with all wartime changes and amendments is included on CD-ROM.
