Julien Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 US Army Chevrolet Trucks in WWII Casemate Illustrated ISBN : 9781612008639 Trucks, certainly not the most glamours of Army vehicles, and probably not the first thing that springs to mind if you are asked about vital military equipment. However its not really a case of what trucks do, but what they dont do. Trucks move men, equipment, and supplies. They tow guns, carry wounded back from the battlefield, are converted into mobile workshops, radio stations, recovery vehicles, cable layers, field kitchens and even field chapels! In short Armies could not really do without trucks. This book from Casemate in their Illustrated Special range is just slightly smaller than A4 in size, hard back with 160 pages. The book is illustrated throughout with black and white photos, with some colour plates towards the back of the book. The book looks at the 1 1/2 ton Chevrolet 4x4 truck in its various guises. Types covered in the book include; Cargo trucks, pane; trucks, dump trucks, tractors, bomb service trucks, telephone trucks, chassis cabs, cab over trucks, and lowboys. The 1 ton trailers often pulled are also looked at. The book finishes with a look at trucks on operations, lend lease trucks, and there use after the war. Conclusion This is a quality publication looking at this important truck of WWII and its many uses. There are great photos throughout which will be of interest to the modeller and WWII buff alike. Highly recommended. Highly Recommended. Review sample courtesy of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
