US ARMOUR CAMOUFLAGE AND MARKINGS WORLD WAR II

Surely, a book on US armour camouflage of World War II would be very short, because everything was just painted overall olive drab? No! Because even a quick flick through this book reveals that there were in fact many colour schemes used by the US, including distemper whitewashes. This book covers a great many vehicles, camouflage schemes and markings from Europe and Pacific theatres, and collectively it makes for fascinating reading, or should that be "observation" because quite rightly, it contains masses of captioned photographs rather than pages of endless text. Quite a few of the shots will be familiar and have appeared in previous Squadron/Signal books, but having them all in one place makes comparison easier, and there are plenty of images that are new to us, definitely making this a worthwhile purchase." - "Tamiya Model Magazine International" December 2005
