    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPart of the Legends of Warfare: Ground series of pictorially led guides to WWII hardware, this is the M18 tank destroyer. The M18 had a powerful engine, meaning it could hit 50mph and was armed with a 76mm cannon. It was designed to chase and hunt down heavily armoured German tanks. The almost square format means plenty of room for images and these are packed in, to the exclusion of that much text. If you were expecting schematics and masses of technical detail though, youll be disappointed. -- Armourer Magazine and Classic Arms & Militaria Magazine, November 2020

    Schiffer Publishing Ltd B17 Flying Fortress Vol. 1

    5 in stock

    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe legendary B-17 Flying Fortress has been covered very many times by books over the years -- some good, some not so much. This fresh pictorial examination, though -- by noted researcher/historian David Doyle -- is a fine starting point for those new to the subject. It covers all sub-types up to D format and offers a wealth of useful photographs with accompanying captions. Some shots of the very early models are truly excellent and ooze the pioneering spirit of the era, while the sprinkling of colour views provides welcome extra detail in terms of paint schemes and markings. Certain individual studies are most revealing, such as the B-17B at Bolling Field in Washington DC, wearing water-soluble camouflage and the image showing technicians applying de-icer boots to the vertical stabiliser of another B. Each variant-specific chapter gives a potted account of the structural differences/additions and the book ends with period and restoration photos of B-17D The Swoose, held by the National Museum of the USAF.
