The Military Atlas of Tank Warfare is a highly illustrated and accessible account of the development of tank warfare from World War I to the present day.
This volume's coverage is broad, and it includes the three main categories of field artillery, antitank artillery and anti-aircraft artillery. This means readers will find between the covers a collection of black and white photos that is diverse - it includes such systems as the 2cm FlaK30, 2cm Flakvierling 38, 3.7cm FlaK36/37, 3.7cm PaK35/36, 8.8cm FlaK18/36, 5cm PaK38, 8.8cm PaK43/41, 7.5cm I.IG18, 10.5cm I.FH18, 15cm s.FH18 and 21cm Mrs18. It's obvious from this list that the book is packed with excellent details and photos of Germany's wartime artillery arsenal. Captured artillery pieces are also included. Photos have been well chosen and they show guns in operational conditions from all theaters of the war and in different weather conditions. In Concord's typical format, there are 16 plates by Laurent Lecocq that show a variety of weapons in full color.
Each of the 150 featured aircraft is illustrated with an outstanding colour profile artwork and is accompanied by detailed specifications. Also included is a design, development and service history of each featured aircraft. In addition there is a 16 page introduction putting the aircraft into military and aviation history context. This superb book, part of the Weapons of War series, is an authoritative and accessible reference work, which will appeal to anyone with an interest in military technology.
