SB.183pp with 118 illustrations.Published Price £12.50 The 'eighty-eight' was probably the best known artillery piece in the Second World War, and it must never be forgotten that it started life as an anti-aircraft weapon. It was so successful that every German division in 1939 was established with a number of these guns for defence against Allied aircraft. Then, during the battle of Arras in 1940, General Rommel used his anti-aircraft guns on tanks, and the rest is history.This official evaluation of the gun is complete in all the detail one could wish for. The illustrations back up the descriptions of the components of the Flak gun so that a picture of the weapon emerges which is not to be seen in any other publication of the period. The gun and its carriage are described, and the photographs are simply superb. There follows an operator's manual of how to set up, use, clean and service the weapon. Ammunition is also described (and readers may like to know that the 88mm ammunition is also described in full colour in the companion volume 'German Ammunition' in the Handbooks of enemy ammunition series, Numbers 6 and 15.There are range tables included, as well as detailed sections on fire control and sighting equipment.
