5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Military Vehicle buffs and Historians!, September 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bradley: A History of American Fighting and Suport Vehicles (Hardcover)

Clear and insightful compilation of well known and some lesser spotlighted military support vehicles and personnel carriers. Simply a "must have" reference for serious modelers, and an excellent coffee table resident for military vehicle fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hunnicutt Does it Again, March 12, 2000

Another excellent book by Hunnicutt. Don't let the price worry you, it's worth the $$. This work is more than just the story of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, it covers the history of the APC in US service from WWII to the present.

Excellent photos, line drawings, cut aways of all major PC's, as well as the varients. Prototypes as well as production models are covered. Mr. Hunnicutt is the premier expert on US Armored Fighting vehicles. Buy this and you'll see why.

I have read this many times already, learning something new each time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review of the development of US APCs., September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bradley: A History of American Fighting and Suport Vehicles (Hardcover)

Once again, Mr. Hunnicutt gallops to the rescue with another superb book on the development of US armored fighting vehicles. Geez - as an Army Brat and former US armor officer, I remember most of these beasts too well - my Dad's M59 with its mechanical nightmare of two engines; my beloved G-66 M113A1 command personnel carrier; and that miserable M114A1E1 recon vehicle. It couldn't fight its way out of a wet paper sack, but it sure looked tough with that BIG Hispano Suiza 20mm gun. My only criticism (and it's very minor) - the author didn't provide enough operational photos of the M59 and M114. They were around a LONG time, and were much more important to the armored force than a casual reading of this book would indicate. What next from Mr. Hunnicutt? We are just about out of tracked vehicles.
