I'm looking for WWI U-boat uniform pics. Does anyone know if any of the colour plates in this book show crew from a Great War boat? If it doesn't I don't really to shell out for it. Not when I could be spending the money on toy plastic dinosaurs from the Early Learning Centre. And you can get a LOT of plastic dinosaurs for the price of an Osprey. Thank you.

Hi Polynikes I have the book (I paid £5.00 GBP for it) It has 1 plate with 3 piccies of GREAT WAR CREW. A Bosuns mate, A Leutnant zur see and a Chief petty officer. The other colour plates are taken up with WW2 crew. There are a couple of B&W photos for WWI majority is WW2. There is a description of the WWI submarine service. The book does give descriptions of insignia worn and type of clothing for WW1 and WW2....Its mainly concentrated on WW2. I was happy to buy it for £5.00 GBP (from a bookshop in the Lake district). I don't think it's worth full price..... Hope this helps MH
