Description: For your consideration is this great reference book entitled COMBAT FLEETS OF THE WORLD; THEIR SHIPS, AIRCRAFT, and ARMAMENT, 1986 - 1987 edition. The book was published in 1986 by the NAVAL INSTITUTE PRESS in Annapolis, Maryland. This is a very large, dense and heavy hardcover reference book that weighs nearly 7.70 pounds by itself. The book provides details and specifics regarding the different world's navies, military aircraft and armaments between the years 1986 and 1987. This is a very interesting reference for the military enthusiast and/or naval scholar/historian. As previously stated, the book is LARGE and weighs over 7.0 pounds and has 750 numbered pages not including the additional 14 non-numbered "addenda" pages at the end of the book. The book measures approximately 12.25" long, 10.25" wide and 1.75" thick. There is no longer a dust cover for this book, unfortunately, that was lost years before it came into my possession. This book came from a U. S. Navy Admiral's personal reference library. The book has the words "Houston War Room" handwritten on both the bottom and right side outer edges of the book's pages. The noted handwriting can be seen in the description photographs. There are no other markings or notations anywhere inside the book. The books hardboard covers show moderate wear along the top edge of both the front and back covers. This wear to the cloth covering was undoubtedly a result of the book rubbing up against the bookshelf when it was being pushed in and/or removed from the shelf. In addition to the aforementioned, the outside corners on both the top and bottom of the spine both show minor wear as well. The book binding remains tight and all the pages are present and securely bound. Please refer to the description photos to confirm the condition of the book and for more details about what I described. Overall this is a fabulous reference book that will provide you with numerous facts and specifics about the world's naval ships, aircraft and armament between 1986 and 1987. Great book for your reference library shelf.Please look at the photos closely as they confirm the condition of the book I describe and accurately depict the exact book you will receive if you purchase this item.
