Bruce Quarrie (1947 in London - September 4, 2004) was an English writer on war-gaming and militaria topics. Quarrie studied English at Peterhouse College, Cambridge University and graduated in 1968. He became a journalist with the Financial Times and then in 1972 joined Patrick Stephens Limited, a Cambridge specialist publisher, as editor of Airfix Magazine, which PSL produced. He wrote the first of his books about war-gaming in 1974 and in 1986 he became a full-time writer. He wrote over 40 titles, mainly on the Second World War militaria. Quarrie was an active wargamer. His 1974 book Napoleonic Wargaming brought the activity to wide attention. Quarrie owned a large miniature army of wargames figures, including the entire Westphalian army of the Napoleonic era. The photographs in this book have been selected with care from the Bundesarchiv, Koblenz (the approximate German equivalent of the US National Archives or the British Public Records Office).

The author enlisted for the RAF as a regular airman when he was 16 years old in 1938, under the mistaken impression that he was well on the road to fulfilling his dream of becoming a fighter pilot. He soon discovered his mistake. Yet against all the odds he managed by sheer determination to becoming a senior NCO and a Spitfire pilot operating over Northern Europe with 130 Squadron. Before that was achieved, he had been an aircraft hand, fire fighter, teleprinter operator, wireless operator, had taken a posting to Air Ministry Signals, had undertaken navigator training, and finally pilot training. In this forthright and honest book he rails against the injustice to NCOs in the service who, however talented, were overlooked because of class snobbery.
