We report on the measurement of {ital W} boson mass from a direct determination of the ratio of the transverse masses of {ital W} and {ital Z} using the D{null} detector at the Fermilab Tevatron {ital p}{ital {anti p}} collider operating at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. The analysis is a preliminary result based on a partial data sample of 13 {ital pb}{sup -1} using {ital W} {r_arrow} {ital e}{nu} and {ital Z} {r_arrow} {ital ee} decays.
