En bok signerad Skvadronsignal tidningen «M88 ARV Walk Around – Squadron Signal SS5716» .

Den M88 (M88) Bepansrat bärgningsfordon designades och utvecklades i slutet av 1950-talet för att hantera bärgning av de tyngre och mer massiva stridsvagnarna som dök upp vid den tiden. M88 ARV är bepansrad som en stridsvagn och innehåller fjädringen och drivlinan från M48/M60-stridsvagnarna och är utrustad med en massiv vinsch och en hydrauliskt upphöjd A-rambom med 400 fot 5/8" vajer. M88:s ursprungliga bensinmotor tjänade fordonet väl under dess år i Vietnam. På 1970-talet installerades dock ett nytt dieselkraftverk i M88, som då omklassificerades till M88A1. Produktionen för inhemskt bruk upphörde 1989, men fordonen fortsatte att tillverkas för export. Under tiden har en ny återhämtning blev nödvändigt i och med introduktionen av den massiva stridsvagnen M1 Abrams. M88 hade varit så framgångsrik att den togs som grund för den nya uppgraderade bärgningsbilen, som fortfarande används idag – M88A2. Illustrerad med 175 fotografier, plus färgprofiler och detaljerade linjeteckningar. Doyle; 80 sidor.

M113 APC

Den M113 family of vehicles is arguably the most successful series of armored personnel carriers of all time. Produced in huge numbers, these ‘tracks’, served the US and its Allies from the early 1960s into the 21st century. The M113 has operated across the globe, serving alongside GIs wherever they deployed. Physical layout was logical – a hydraulically operated rear ramp allowed for quick egress from the troop compartment; the driver’s position and powerplant filled the forward spaces. The driver was provided with four M17 periscopes, and his hatch had provision for an M19 infrared periscope as well. The commander’s station, just aft of the driver, had a cupola equipped with five M17 periscopes and an M2 HB machine gun. Illustrated with 170 photographs, plus color profiles and detailed line drawings. Doyle; 72 pages.

En dokumentation undertecknad Skvadronsignal the book «M24 Chaffee Walk Around – Squadron Signal SS5714» .

As American-built armor came into contact with Axis forces in WWII – first of all in North Africa – it quickly became clear that the 37mm cannon favored on US armor was simply inadequate against the tough armor of their adversaries. The tall silhouette and slab-sided construction of many US vehicles also demonstrated the need for a new American tank. The M24 was developed in order to address all of these concerns and more. Armed with a 75mm main gun, the Chaffee was able to dispatch many of the foes its predecessors had unsuccessfully faced, and the M24’s torsion bar suspension gave it a lower profile and smoother ride while making it an improved gun platform. Produced for the US military until 1950, the Chaffee continued to take the field around the world until well into the 1970s. Packed with over 200 photos, plus color art and profiles. Doyle; 80 pages.

Den Panzerkampfwagen 38 Pansarfordon 38 (tjeckiska) var en av de viktigaste stridsvagnarna i Wehrmachts arsenal under första halvan av andra världskriget. Ursprungligen tillverkad nära Prag som en lätt stridsvagn LT vz. 38 – Lehký Tank vzor 38, fordonet med tillhörande tillverkningsanläggning, beslagtogs av tyskarna efter deras ockupation av Tjeckoslovakien år 1939. Fordonet, som döptes om till det tyska namnet Pz.Kpfw.38(t), deltog i de polska och franska fälttågen och deltog i invasionen av Sovjetunionen under sommaren 1941. Det obevekliga flödet av tvivelaktiga sovjetiska T-34-stridsvagnar gjorde snart Panzer 38(t) föråldrad, vilket tvingade den att dra sig tillbaka från fronten i början av 1942. Fordonet fortsatte att tjänstgöra i antipartisanoperationer, och det fanns fortfarande 229 Panzer 38(t) i aktiv tjänst i den tyska armén i september 1944. Några konfronterade till och med de västallierade under deras framryckning in i Tredje riket i slutet av kriget. Illustrerad med över 300 fotografier, färgkonst och profiler. Stapfer; 80 sidor.

En bok signerad Skvadronsignal the revue «M3 Medium Tank Walk Around – Squadron Signal SS5712» .

Den M3 (M3) Medium Tank was designed as an interim answer to European battlefield conditions at the start of World War II. The tank was required to have heavier armor and a gun twice the size of the M2A1. Additionally, plans needed to be ready in 60 days. The solution was the M3’s unconventional design, which features a 75mm main gun mounted in a sponson on the right, front of the hull. The British dubbed their version ‘General Grant’ and named the US Army version the ‘General Lee.’ This book takes a detailed look at the M3 Medium Tank with more than 200 photographs, color profiles and detailed line drawings. Doyle; 80 pages.

Three distinct versions of a reconnaissance car were produced before they were standardized into the World War II-era Jeep. Bantam, Ford and Willys produced different models to win military contracts. Bantam delivered 70 pre-production units in December 1940. Eight of these models featured four-wheel steering. In 1941, the U.S. government ordered 1,500 units from each of the manufacturers. The best qualities of the three models were incorporated into the final standardized Jeep. This book takes a detailed look at Jeep’s early evolution with more than 250 photographs, color profiles and detailed line drawings. Doyle; 80 pages.

En bok Skvadronsignal a revue «GPA/DUKW Color Walk Around – Squadron Signal SS5710» .

The US used 2 main wheeled amphibians during WWII: the 1/4-ton GPA and the 2-1/2 ton DUKW. Although the former was a Ford Motor Company product and the later carried the label of arch-rival General Motors, the 2 bore a similarity due to their common designer – Roderick Stephens. Despite their shared origins and cutting-edge design, the GPA and DUKW had vastly contrasting careers. Production of the GPA, essentially an amphibious Jeep, ended in 1943, just as the career of the DUKW, a virtual aquatic truck, was on its way to becoming the ‘gold standard’ by which other amphibians are measured to this day. After taking part in the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, the DUKW went on to see action in nearly every other American amphibious landing in WWII and came back to see service during the Korean War as well. Illustrated with 263 high quality photographs, color art, and profiles. Doyle; 80 pages.

En bok signerad Skvadronsignal the revue «Sd.Kfz.251 Color Walk Around – Squadron Signal SS5708» .

Considered the German Army’s most important armored half-track in WWII, the Sd.Kfz.251 allowed the infantry to keep up with the Heer’s fast armored elements. The vehicle came in 4 models and 23 variants, but the Ausf.D was the most produced model. In fact, Ausf.Ds represented nearly 70 percent of Sd.Kfz.251s built during wartime. The type’s simplified design was the main contributor to this variant being produced in such substantial numbers, and the Ausf.D was the first of the 251s to have stowage bins built into the sides of the half track. This mass-produced, streamlined vehicle truly proved its worth in WWII and saw action on every front. Illustrated with over 150 color photographs, detailed line drawings, and 8 colored profiles. A must have book for the armor, modeling, history, and military enthusiast. Stapfer; 80 pages.

Cadillac Gage V-100 Commando färg promenad runt. Den mest kända amerikanska pansarbilen från tiden efter andra världskriget, Cadillac Gage Commando – ett mångsidigt, amfibiskt 4×4-fordon – ser fortfarande modern ut trots att den gjorde sin debut 1962. V-100 Commando genomgick många förändringar mot bakgrund av sin omfattande och varierade erfarenhet av spaning, eskort av konvojer, kravallkontroll, säkerhet och som trupptransportfordon. När den bevisade sitt värde för USA:s sydvietnamesiska allierade och senare för de amerikanska styrkorna i Sydostasien, introducerade Cadillac Gage den ena modifieringen efter den andra som svar på förändrade stridsbehov. Även om USA:s militära användning av Commando minskade efter Vietnamkrigets slut, byggdes många Commandos om och tjänar än i dag polisstyrkor och SWAT-team i Europa och USA, medan olika arméer runt om i världen fortfarande använder ättlingar till stridsversionen. Illustrerad med över 200 färgfotografier plus detaljerade linjeteckningar; Doyle.80 sidor.

US Military Motorcycles of WWII Color Walk Around. During WWII, the United States turned to Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle Company to produce military-worthy motorcycles. Additionally, other Allied powers looked to these companies for bikes through the Lend-Lease program. As a result, Harley-Davidson produced the WLA, the U and UA, and the shaft-drive XA. Indian provided the 340-B and the 741, and the shaft-drive 841. While the WLA, U/UA, 340-B, and 741 saw extensive military use, the shaft-drive bikes from both companies never saw combat. The advent of the Jeep took over the motorcycle’s role in military service, and the bikes were relegated to veteran vehicles of the past. Illustrated with over 200 color photographs, 11 black-and-white photographs and color art by Don Greer. David Doyle. 80 pages.
