WR Press's, Flower Class Corvettes of World War Two by John Lambert, is the best of the Warship Perspectives series thus far. Its strength lies in  John Lambert's many drawings, plans and scrap views, which are supplemented by the author's highly informative comments. I particularly liked his rigging plans and bridge drawings, whose keyed explanatory notes enabled me to understand the function of many detail bits whose purpose had heretofore eluded me. The 96 page softcover volume also includes a set of foldout plans (HMS Anemone plan/profile, hull lines and rigging) reproduced in 1:108 scale. Alan Raven contributed camo schemes for 23 corvettes. They are reproduced in grey scale, so you'll need your color chips.

That said, this book is a must buy for the Corvette modeler, both those of average skill and serious scratchbuilder/super detailers. The book is packed with useful visual information. The drawings and plans alone make it worth the price, and John Lambert presents them in such a way that they are both accessible and informative. Highly Recommended
