Hello all,

Can anyone tell me where on the net I can find decent pics of an LCVP? I have been searching online for a while for pics but can't find anything useful for details.

If there's a good book I would also be interested to find out the name...

Thanks in advance!

Rob,

There is Squadron/Signal Publications, WWII US Landing Craft in Action, Warships# 17.
It has a nice set of plans for the LCVP.

Then there is always United State Naval Vessels from Schiffer Military History, although a little expensive @ $80.00.

Thank you for those reference names, Harry! I was actually looking to see if Squadron published a book for these boats but did not have a name to go by.

Again, thanks!!
