What The Reviews Say...
"Most of the entries contain a single
photo of the vehicle and all have a brief, but complete description.
All this is capped off with a comprehensive index.
This book is a valuable reference for those
interested in the development of American armor in the 20th
century."
(Military Miniatures in Review,
#22, page 14)
"This fascinating book is sure to appeal
to model makers searching for inspiration for their next scratchbuilding
or conversion project... Such is the depth of coverage in this
book you're bound to find a myriad of vehicles you have never
beard of before... this book will make an outstanding addition
to any library."
(Military Modelcraft International,
May 2000, p 56)
"...every new vehicle being developed
for the US Army was assigned an identifying number which was
prefixed with the letter T... the system was further complicated
as the same numbers were assigned to each type of vehicle. Thus
any number could apply to a scout car, armored car, command
car, tank, gun carriage, mortar carrier and often others as
well.
This is a basic reference work which well
deserves its place on the serious enthusiast's shelf as well
as being a fascinating record of an earlier age."
