| An essential reference work for the collector and historian alike, this
hook traces the evolution of both clothing and equipment as the quartermasters met the
challenge of changing demands and attitudes - from the first years of the century through
two world wars. The First World War altered the US Army dramatically, turning it into a
large, modern fighting force, with all the consequent demands for mass-produced uniform
and equipment. By the time the US entered the Second World War, American technology,
innovation and manufacturing industry had combined to make the American forces the best
equipped in the world. The vast range of items with which the Americans went to war is
fully reflected in the text and illustrations of this encyclopedic volume written by Ken
Lewis, the prorietor of Norman D Landing Militaria. Included is a glossary of technical terms, archive material (including a 1945-dated 16-page document and plans of the Ml steel helmet manufactured by the McCord Radiator Company), biographies of selected personalities and a comprehensive index.
