bookAllied-Axis
The Photo Journal of the Second World War
Issue 5
Ampersand Publishing.
96 pages soft cover.




The Book:
This is the fifth in the series and continues the same formula of good close-up photos plus wartime photos. Many of the photos are one to a page which allows the details to be clearly seen with the large photos. Each page has brief descriptions at the bottom of each picture.

Contents of issue 5:

Continues from Issue 3 this 10 pages has general photos of the Dragon Wagon in use as well as some of the soft cab A1.

Japanese Type 89 Medium Tank:
9 pages of this early war Japanese tank with some wartime photos as well as some close-up detail shots.

Wespe im Einsatz:
28 pages with some good wartime photos of the Wespe with a nice series of the crew in action. Also some excellent close-up detail shots of a preserved vehicle including shots of the interior and gun mount.

M8 Armored Car:
19 pages with of large single page photos of in-action shots of the M8, again great diorama potential.
The next 10 pages have great close-up shots including interior and a few illustrations from the field manual.

M1 and M1A1 Heavy Wreckers:
The final 19 pages again have good wartime photos as well as some detailed shots and manual illustrations

In all another great issue of this series, which are becoming a must have reference series.
