UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN ARMY IN WORLD WAR ONE

Studio portraits and candid First World War photographs carefully chosen and researched to offer the reader detailed information on the KuK (royal and imperial) Empire's air, motor and medical corps, as well as infantry, artillery, pioneer and railway troops. There are chapters covering highly decorated elite units, such as the Bosnian and the Kaiserschutzen. A full-colour section of never-before-published photographs of original head dress, uniforms, equipment and accessories used by the KuK armed forces provides valuable information on the materials, markings, stamps and construction of field caps, cavalry helmets and flight gear. Also included in this section are pilot badges and cap and collar insignia. This book is an indispensable resource for all historians, collectors, re-enactors, wargamers and model builders.
