Handbook of Enemy Ammunition: German Italian & Japanese Shells Fuses Bombs Grenades Explosives & Small Arms Ammunition

This two-volume reprint contains all fifteen of the original War Office pamphlets on enemy ammunition published during the Second World War, together with the index (Vol 13A) and all the colour plates from Vol 15. The two volumes give a very detailed picture of ammunition in use by the Axis forces as it was experienced by the men on the ground. Accompanied by hundreds of drawings, this publication is essential to an understanding of one of the technologies of war - ammunition of all kinds. The volumes cover small arms ammunition, mortar bombs, grenades, gun and howitzer shell, special shells, rockets and many other items. Never before reprinted as a whole with all the appendices and colour plates. Only available as a set of two volumes.
