Condition: New. 2003 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1943). 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. There is no better book on the 88mm antiaircraft gun available. Book.…

Condition: New. 2003 N&M Press reprint (original pub1943). 56pp SB illustrated. Handbook of Enemy Ammunition was a vital series of British War Office military intelligence publications issued during the Second World War. Fifteen individual pamphlets appeared between 1940 and 1945, providing field units in Europe and Africa with authoritative guidance on the identification of enemy ordnance.Their primary purpose was practical and lifesaving: to enable troops to recognise unfamiliar ammunition on the battlefield before specialist personnel, notably Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) ammunition technicians, were called upon to render it safe, remove it or destroy it.Although German ordnance received the most extensive treatment, the series also documented Italian and Japanese equipment. Its coverage included small-arms ammunition, fuzes, grenades, artillery and anti-tank ammunition, mines such as the Tellermine 43, and specialised aircraft cannon rounds. Italian mortar bombs and grenades, together with Japanese nose fuzes, high-explosive shells and infantry weapons, were likewise examined.The series culminated in War Office Pamphlet No. 15 of May 1945, which provided comprehensive reference tables and colour plates for interpreting German manufacturing codes, packaging and paint markings. Collectively, these pamphlets form an important record of wartime ammunition intelligence and ordnance recognition.Issues 1-15 can be ordered directly from military history specialist Naval & Military Press.
