The illustrated encyclopedia of weapons of World War II

by Chris Bishop

From the obsolescent multi-turreted T-35 tank to the mighty Essex-class aircraft carrier and the V-2 rocket, the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II examines key weapons of every type. The volume includes more than 1500 weapons, from handguns to jet fighters. Each weapon system is illustrated with a detailed profile artwork or a photograph showing the weapon in action. Expertly-written text provides each weapon's service history, specifications and its variants.
