Very interesting looking book, for sure...in fact, the new "Duel" series from Osprey looks to be an overall informative batch of manuals.

See the official "Osprey Duel" site HERE!

This does look like an interesting series. What's up with the cover art? This book, and the Escort/U-Boat one, both look like the covers were done from video games.

Unfortunately Roger, I'm afraid that illustrations as we know them are a thing of the past.
As I'm not a fan of this form of illustration, I personally find them to be extremely bland and lacking artistic style, I'll probably be passing on this series also.
