4.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference or Coffee Table book, September 30, 2004

Darren Anderson (Lincoln, NE USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: United States Military Patch Guide (Paperback)

Any patch collector will love this book. All patches are broken down by division, regiments, battallion...etc so this can be an easy one stop reference. If you're a collector of patches or just a military history buff this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great book on US Military Patches, September 28, 2005

Yves Bellanger "Military Historian" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: United States Military Patch Guide (Paperback)

A great book showing and impressive number of patches but also of tabs. It depicts a large number of variants and some inverted designs for combat veterans (righ shoulder). No classification by era (WWII, Vietnam, etc.) but by army, corps, division and arms (including some battalion patches). The book is principally on Army units with 6 pages on USMC units, and 2 about the Navy.

Rangers tabs and SF flashes are well depicted (no airborne flash). A good part on Army Aviation (8 pages).

A great reference for patches collectors showing a large number of patches I don't see elsewhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book to bad my paperback copy fell apart, December 22, 2006

James V. Maclean "macmel" (Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: United States Military Patch Guide (Paperback)

Great book packed with some super images of US Military Patches. The only problem is the binding glue failed and the pages are falling out. I wish I would have bought the HC.
