About This Item
Chicago: Henry Regnery Co., 1976. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The book explores in detail an often overlooked aspect of modern military hardware -- how it all works. There are numerous books on what these weapons can do but very few provide an illustrated examination of "how." It should be noted that while technological improvements in the past thirty years have resulted in greater power and efficiency, weapons remain basically the same. The book's sections cover everything from small arms and ammunition to artillery, from tanks to ships and aircraft, to bombs and missiles, with short histories to provide context and numerous photos and hundreds of full color cut-away illustrations. 8.5 x 11 inches, 249 pages including an index; covers and text are clean, tight, square; the dustjacket shows some minimal surface and edgewear, no tears or chipping. A Fine, collectable copy.
