Product Description
Product Description
This book, volume three in a series of four, describes and illustrates post- WW2 British armoured camouflage and markings as follows: 1) Paint & Camouflage post-WW2 2) Arm of Service Markings 3) Formation Signs The book is profusely illustrated with photographs, colour profiles, and detailed drawings. It describes in detail the official paint schemes, the variations often seen in practice, and the individual and unit markings applied to tanks, armoured cars, lorries and smaller vehicles, and towed guns. The series will prove invaluable for military enthusiasts and modellers, making sense of a very confusing topic!

Does what it says on the tin, follows on from parts 1 and 2. Chapter 1 Post WW2 cammo., its all here colours and patterns with photos and good illustrations to back up the text. Chapter 2 arm of service markings from WW1 to post WW2; the complete system in words, photos and illustration. Tables cover various organisations for different periods, the only let down here for me is the tables only go as far as senior, armoured and junior regiment etc, and senior or junior brigade. To be fair this level of information would fill a book on its own. Earlier texts by other authors seem to confuse the order and numbering of the units of the 7th armoured division at the date of conversion from the Mobile division (Egypt) and unfortunately we do not get a definitive answer here. You will have to cross reference with organisation tables from other sources. The final chapter covers formation signs from WW1 to Post WW2 and again its all here backed with excellent photos and illustrations. Apart from my little gripe, these books tell the whole story of British Army camouflauge and markings, and about time too, just waiting for the final chapter. With so many reference books on German subjects its good to have this excellent text to draw from.
Format:Paperback
This book was bought after buying and reading through Vols 1&2. It is well worth buying and is a excellent development of previous work on this subject. As a final recommendation for this series I have Vol 4 on order. Personnally I would like to have seen more on "B" vehicles but the series remains a first class reference on this subject. Dick Taylor, how about a vol 5 et al concentrating on Imperial and dominion formations and equipment and where they differ from Britian?
Listmania!
