ReviewsA variety of staged and casual photos offer a great selection of equipment shots, including some close-ups, as well as uniform shots from mostly undressed gun crew to parade-ground perfection., Alan Ranger has authored another excellent book...worthwhile to include in the library of the modeler or historical buff.|9788366549111|, Another really excellent collection of photos, most of which we have not seen published before and which the author has been able to collect. I am a fan of this Camera On series of books and this one is another good addition to the series from MMP. Alan Ranger has done another great job on this one.

SynopsisThis book covers in such photographic detail the German usage of both the 20mm Flak 38 and its quadruple mounting the Flakvierling 38, both of these weapons saw extensive action on all battle fronts of the Second World War wherever the German armed forces saw service., This new photo album is number 29 in the MMP Books/Stratus "Camera On" series. It is the first to cover in such photographic detail the German usage of the 2 cm Flak 38 and its quadruple mounting the Flakvierling 38. These weapons saw extensive action on all battlefronts of the Second World War wherever the German armed forces saw service. While the 2 cm Flak 38 was an excellent weapon when first developed, by the time it entered service even the German army knew that it was in need of a replacement weapon system. The Germans concentrated on 37mm weapons and above from then on, however the Flak 38 still gave valued service against low flying aircraft and ground targets and proved to be a valued weapon throughout the war, it even saw service with some other nations well into the 1970's. This book contains 140+ photographs taken by the average German soldier of both the 2 cm Flak 38 and the Flakvierling 38 as well as their crews in many of the areas they operated within. This volume illustrates these weapons as the soldiers themselves viewed them in both their fighting environment and, in many cases, just as a tool they lived with and had to look after on a daily basis, not the highly polished and sanitized views of the official photographers. This book is an invaluable reference for military historians and modelers alike. A4 size, 80 pages.
