Model Forum / General / Models / August 2007cruise books
do aircraft carrier cruise books have any value? it looks like a college yearbook. same sort of sh.t in it. > do aircraft carrier cruise books have any value? > it looks like a college yearbook. same sort of sh.t in it. Mostly to the guys that were on the cruise, I'd wager... ...or to guys like me that may have known some of them that were. Got a compendium of cruise pics from a guy on WESTPAC that did some flying over Afghanistan with VFA-94. Whoever took the pics was not only a fighter jock, but a damn fine photographer as well...most amazing stuff are the in-flight ones...considering he was in a combat zone.

A museum may like to have them, for archival value. But I'd be hard pressed to think of anyone else.

I'd like to borrow it and scan it then return it. I'm waiting for my mother-in-law to get it out of the trunk. I'm supposed to get a real uniform, too. I'll let you know.

Agree with those that compare them to yearbooks. However, this being a modeling group, I will add that I built a model for a guy who served on the Ticonderoga in the early '60's and he let me look at his Cruise books as resource material. I found it useful to look at the squadron markings and aircraft types, as well as the deck markings for the ship and details of radar, etc. So, limited usefulness for the general population, but in the right circumstance, great primary source. Gary Anderson > do aircraft carrier cruise books have any value? > it looks like a college yearbook. same sort of sh.t in it. I have 2 places, here in Bremerton, that would love to have any cruise books that no one knows what to do with. I would even make sure that the source would be properly credited :). Especially if they were either built/repaired/stationed here. >> do aircraft carrier cruise books have any value? >> it looks like a college yearbook. same sort of sh.t in it.
