Description
The markings used on U.S. Army tanks, lorries and Jeeps in 1944 are a key part of the war effort. These markings, often misunderstood by casual observers, played a vital role in the organization of the U.S. Army on the move during this period. This guide provides a detailed look at the various markings used, including unit and classification markings, tactical markings, and debarkation codes used in the Normandy landings. Hundreds of contemporary photographs are paired with precise color diagrams to show exactly how markings appeared on vehicles, including exact measurements. This unique guide also covers the variations of camouflage used on vehicles. With its combination of photographs and diagrams, this book is an invaluable resource for modelers, collectors, and restorers of historic vehicles, as well as anyone researching the use of WWII photographs.
