Hardback. Condition: Good. Since the first edition was printed in 1991, there have only been minor changes in air regulations. The opposing "trenches" used by environmental regulation proponents have deepened as each side increases their database. Agencies and environmental groups have backed off a little in issues such as bubble policies and enforcement time tables. This has made it extremely difficult for equipment vendors to anticipate industry requirements. Overall, the current market projections are not very favorable for the new equipment suppliers. In contrast, the service organizations are seeing increasing need for their help in areas such as dispersion modeling, troubleshooting and testing. Existing systems are being improved upon to keep them in operation. There remains a continuous need for up-to-date references and training materials to serve these needs, and it is for this purpose this revised edition is dedicated.…

This scarce book is a fascinating first hand account of how the British Army revolutionized sniping during World War I. Drawing on his experience as a big-game hunter and marksman, Hesketh-Prichard was instrumental in establishing the First Army School of Scouting, Observation and Sniping. The book blends vivid frontline anecdotes with detailed instruction on sniper training, camouflage, observation techniques, and counter-sniping tactics. Hesketh-Prichard viewed trench sniping as "a very high-class form of big game shooting, in which the quarry shot back," and his methods helped turn the tide against German snipers on the Western Front. It also includes appendices outlining the sniper school's curriculum and emphasizes the importance of scientific training and mental discipline. His innovations are credited with saving thousands of Allied lives. Ref A4 7. Ernest Blaikley (illustrator). …
