Hi
I already own Khaki Drill and Jungle Green, WW2 Tommy, American Web Equipment, and the British Web Equipment books. This book is a fitting match to the WW2 Tommy. Unlike the HP Enjames GI Collector's guide, this book shows the uniforms being worn. While not in any way, a collector's book, this book shows 90% of the uniforms worn during the war. My father is a Pacific Theater WW2 veteran and I have pictures of him in many of the uniforms shown. Mike

I mam a member of a WWII living history team-our main reason for doing this team is to honor the Veterans of the Military -Mainly WWII -for all they have done to give us the FREEDOM we now enjoy.
We do as many things possible to honor these Vets,Parades, displays,attending to their wants-VA hospitals, etc. This book gives us a more acurate images so our display will be as accurate as possible, a very good source for such information.
