Volume 4 of the "U.S. Navy Uniforms in World War II Series". This comprehensively illustrated work shows the clothing and equipment of the soldiers of the U.S. Navy in the early phase of World War II. Beginning with the uniforms of the 1920s, the volume chronologically documents the evolution of uniforms as well as items issued to soldiers during enlistment and training, such as the duffel bag and hammock. The insignia worn by the various ranks of officers during the war are concisely described and presented with detailed photographs. In addition, an exclusively colour illustrated catalogue section shows and explains the rank and service insignia worn by ordinary sailors. As a final bonus, there is a CD-ROM reprint of the 1941 U.S. Navy uniform regulations with all wartime amendments.
