Soft cover. Condition: Good. 64 pages. 8.75" x 11.75". The range and variety of weaponry in the years 1939 to 1945 is staggering in both its scale and its ingenuity. From the heavy-bladed kukris of the Gurkhas, to the enormous multi-axle Germany railway guns firing two rounds and hour, the pressures of technology and different theatres of operation produced weapons in all classes that bore only basic resemblance to their counterparts of 1914-1918. The later years of the war saw too the emergence of sophisticated rocketry, the guided missile, and finally, the atom bomb. The book pictures and identifies weapons from the armouries of Britain, the United States, Japan, Germany and Russia: from the Bren light machine gun, through the classes of heavy machine-guns and artiller, to the 'doodle-bugs and V-2's that were to terrorise Britain's cities. Detailed text. A fascinating study. Former owner's name penned on the inside of the back cover. The Book show use. The binding is tight and the inside is clean. Overall a Good copy.
