Plane Facts Company 32 Official Photographs of US Navy Battleships / Heavy and Light Cruisers / Destroyers / Submarines / Destroyer Escorts / PT Boat / Aux Ships
Cardstock Paper Model Kit
Sold
From around 1940. In the original envelope are thirty two 8.25 x 5.25 inch copies of official US Navy photographs of a wide variety of ships. I have dated them from 1940 roughly based on the subjects in and not in the photos. There are many photographs of pre-war battlewagons and only one photo of a newer battleship - the USS Washington and she is in her commissioning colors, which was around May of 1941. Please note that although these are high quality copies, they are not actual slick photographs. They are printed on a heavy semi-gloss paper. All thirty-two photos are present and in excellent condition.
