Une documentation signée Squadron Signal le livre «WWII US Sherman Tank in Action – Squadron Signal SS2048» .

The iconic American tank of World War II, the M4 Sherman was known for its simple, reliable, and flexible design. Ten different companies contributed to the total output of 50,000 units produced in a myriad of variations. Even after it went into serial production in 1942 the Sherman was subject to almost constant change and modification, based on lessons learned and needs perceived on the battlefield. The full story of the Sherman’s exploits would fill several volumes, so this book focuses on the variants and sub-variants of the Shermans used by US forces during WWII. The Shermans that rolled off the assembly lines in 1945 bore little resemblance to the M4s produced in 1942, and this volume chronicles each major model of the Sherman everywhere the American soldier fought. Augmenting the nearly 200 period photos, many of them in rare original color, are a host of exquisitely rendered line drawings illustrating the subtle variations in hull, turret, and weapons used on these famed armored fighting vehicles. Includes color profiles; Ervin and Doyle; 80 pages.

Une documentation signée Squadron Signal le livre «Tiger I in Action – Squadron Signal SS2047» .

The Tiger is arguably the most feared tank of WWII. Billed as invincible by Nazi propaganda, the massive, heavily armed and armored vehicle’s mystique has continued to grow in the intervening years. Often forgotten were the 56-ton behemoth’s weaknesses, among which were a feeble powertrain and suspension, an unquenchable thirst for precious fuel, and perhaps most crucial, the huge drain it imposed on Germany’s manufacturing and engineering resources. Only 1,346 Tiger Is were produced; so precious a resource was the Tiger that even severely damaged vehicles were remanufactured and returned to the front, some multiple times – leading to a bewildering array of features over the tank’s many variants. Today, only a half-dozen Tigers survive, leaving period photographs as a visual record of their victories – and ultimate defeat. Illustrated with over 200 vintage photographs, plus color profiles and detailed line drawings. Doyle; 72 pages.

Une documentation signée Squadron Signal le livre «Truck-Mounted Artillery in Action – Squadron Signal SS2042» .

Italian military planners saw the need for highly mobile artillery early in the 20th Century. Accordingly, Italy began mounting anti-aircraft weapons on truck chassis prior to WWI, giving birth to the autocannone, a weapon concept which would soldier through both World Wars. Inspired by the German half-tracks equipped with 88mm guns, the Italians reprised the autocannone with their 90/53 guns on a heavy truck chassis. Other vehicles, some captured, were mated with a wide variety of weapons, often in the field. A unique and lavishly-illustrated survey of the various weapon combinations devised by the Italian military from the inception of the autocannone until the end of WWII. Illustrated with over 200 photographs, plus color profiles and detailed line drawings. Riccio; 52 pages.

A doc from Squadron Signal the book «World War II Jeep In Action – Squadron Signal SS2042» .

During World War II, the Jeep was enormously popular with troops and leaders. Originally designed as a reconnaissance car, Jeeps plowed through the sands of North Africa, the snows of central Europe, pulled aircraft across flight decks and ferried the wounded through jungles. Jeeps were configured for radio gear, armed with weapons, and bore stretchers. Large numbers of Jeeps were also delivered to allied nations. This book takes a detailed look at these vehicles’ service during World War II with more than 100 photographs, color profiles and detailed line drawings. Doyle; 52 pages.

Une documentation signée Squadron Signal le livre «M551 Sheridan in Action – Squadron Signal SS2041» .

Beginning in 1966, the Allison Division of General Motors built 1,562 M551s with primary armament being a 152-millimeter gun/launcher capable of firing conventional ammunition or the Ford-built Shillelagh anti-tank missile. The Sheridan was indeed a unique vehicle that served the US Army over 3 decades. While it was conceived as a light Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle that had both amphibious and airborne assault abilities, the casual observer, and most in the military, saw the M551 Sheridan as a tank. Whatever the conception, this vehicle proved an asset to the Army in Vietnam, Panama, and Operation Desert Storm. With a 4-man crew, this 6-cylinder Detroit Diesel engine-powered vehicle, though retired, has yet to be replaced by a more suitable military asset. Illustrated with 91 color photos, 8 b/w photos, 7 color profiles, 3-view drawing, vehicle development illustrations, and 2 colorized camouflage patterns. Doyle; 60 pages.
