This is an increasingly scarce and sought after work not only for its text and technical content, but because of the exemplary illustrations by perhaps the finest cadre of military and nautical illustrators of the second half of the Twentieth Century. John Henry Batchelor MBE (1936-2019) was an English artist and technical illustrator, particularly known for his clear and detailed cutaway illustrations of vehicles and military equipment and stamp illustrations. His work can be seen in many hundreds of late-20th-century works on armor, fighting vehicles, ships, firearms, etc. Batchelor's work is particularly sought after by scale model makers for its accuracy.
