Summary: paperback-sized historical reference with tinted photographs
Comment: This is a neat little reference book on WWII uniforms, illustrated with hand-tinted contemporary photographs. Unfortunately many of the pictures are not representative of standard issue uniforms!

The book typically presents 3 soldiers per page in national groups, chronologically from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the Japanese surrender in 1945. This is followed by illustrations of a selection of weapons and gear.

Irritatingly the descriptions of the illustrations are in a seperate index at the end of the book. The illustrations of gear and weapons are somewhat eclectic. Nevertheless this is a valuable reference, especially for a visual artist.

Summary: Superb reference for WW2 modellers and figure painters
Comment: This is an omnibus collection of two books: Army Uniforms of World War 2 and Army Uniforms Since 1945.

The first book is an excellent reference for WW2 enthusiasts, especially modellers and figure painters. It contains complete uniform, equipment and weapons information for most army arms.

This is an army uniform book. It does not touch naval or air corps uniforms at all.

The uniforms and equipment are shown in colour plates, the weapons in B&W.

The second book only covers world army uniforms up to the early eighties (Zimbabwe is still Rhodesia), but it covers cold-war uniforms extremely well.

Well worth it if you can find it.
