Product Description

This book will transport you back to an era when the newly introduced L Model Mack Fire Apparatus was a shining example of exciting new styling and state-of-the-art technology. Through a series of exquisite factory photos from 1940-1953, you will see a transformation from the pre WWII era, to the stark look of the war years, to the prosperous post-war years when bright paint, chrome, and gold leaf once again adorned fire apparatus. This collection of fascinating photographs includes pumpers, aerials and rescue units, and shows apparatus wearing the insignia of fire departments such as New York, Boston, Chicago and Baltimore.
