About this product
Product Information
This book recreates World War II's GI's authentic appearance by means of colour photography. The book has models wearing authentic uniforms and using actual weapons to demonstrate the practical nature of American uniforms during World War II. Logically arranged, the sequences show each uniform type in close-up and in characteristic use, accompanied by concise identifying and explanatory text. Rare original uniforms and kit, provided by leading private collections, are posed at different seasons of the year against convincing settings. Paratroopers check their equipment around a C-47 on a sunny English airfield, a camouflage-suited soldier hacks his way through dank jungle foliage and assault infantry who are photographed in full D-Day equipment on the beaches used for pre-invasion battle training by the 1944 liberators of Normandy.Product Identifiers
