Second volume of the highly detailed illustrated history of the
American Half-Track M2. This second volume opens with a description of the
Half-Track’s incarnation as a weapons carrier, with all variants and versions
presented on 75 pages of drawings along with a collection of photographs. The
next chapter discusses further development of the vehicle’s versions, which were
not mass produced, illustrated with photographs and fabric drafts.
Also included is a description of the usage of the Half-Track during
World War II, when it was utilised by the US Army and the USMC mainly for
supplies of land-lease. Polish Armed Forces also used these vehicles both in the
West and in the East, even after the war had ended.
This monograph contains a chapter about camouflage and the different
markings of the Half-Track’s versions, in twelve superb colour plates. For
modellers, there is a list of models and accessories, and the book comes
complete with 34 pages of 3D colour graphics, colour photographs of museum
exhibits and current riding restored vehicles.
This book is bilingual, with Polish and English text and
captions.
