EUROPA MILITARIA: AMERICAN WEB EQUIPMENT 1910-1967

EUROPA MILITARIA: AMERICAN WEB EQUIPMENT 1910-1967 Illustrated with color photographs throughout, these large-format paperbacks give a unique insight into how the modern soldier trains and fights, as well as offering a detailed account of many modern weapons. In this book, a follow-up to the same authors well-received study of British web equipment, Martin Brayley gives a detailed illustrated overview of the webbing straps, holsters, carriers and haversacks used by American combat troops from before World War One to the Vietnam War. Hundreds of different items are photographed, and the often small differences between suppliers and periods are pointed in the learned and informative text. This book will be required reading for all students of American uniform and equipment, modelers, re-enactors and collectors. ISBN: 1-86126-832-7 publish date: 08/15/2006
