Mint paperback reprint of a 1951 publication. 350pp. plus pull out colour fire plans This is the single most important text on the subject of the gun in the British Army during the Second World War. It is complete in all detail, and exceptionally well illustrated with fire-support diagrams, photographs and maps. It covers the following topics: Pre-war developments, Antiaircraft artillery, Antitank artillery, Anti-mortar methods, The war in North Africa, Italy, North West Europe, and the Far East. Within the text there are descriptions of all equipment used, and where they were in action. There are also details of shells, fuses, fire control equipment and the myriad of other equipment needed by the gunner to get his shell onto the target. The fire plans alone are worth the price of this book, covering operations in North West Europe and in the Far East in specific detail. This is a book which we recommend unreservedly to any historian of the Second World War. Also contains comparisons between British and foreign artillery and antitank guns. Originals are very difficult to find and the price of such a volume is becoming prohibitive.
