Description
Since the end of World War Two, British webbing equipment has undergone significant development to address the growing threat of NBC warfare during the Cold War. A major milestone was reached in 1982 with the exposure of the shortcomings of 1958-pattern webbing during the Falklands War.
The need for improved load-carrying equipment led to the introduction of nylon-based webbing, which has since become a standard feature of British military gear. This book provides an in-depth look at the evolution of modern British webbing equipment and its development over several decades.
