For the first time in publishing history, this book provides a detailed guide to the uniforms and insignia worn by the crews of tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles throughout the world from the First World War to the present day, embracing not only the ever-popular Second World War but also the conflicts in Spain, the Middle East, Korea and Vietnam. The comments are principally concerned with combat rather than 'parade' dress and also cover protective and camouflage clothing. Embracing all major and most minor conflicts and nationalities, it contains much hitherto unknown material, dozens of rare photographs and many specially commissioned full-colour plates, making it indispensable reading for all students of armoured warfare, uniform enthusiasts, militaria collectors, scale modellers and wargamers.
