The Crocodile Flame Throwing equipment was one of the modifications made to the Churchill tank, and proved to be of significant value in the fighting following D-Day and the invasion of Normandy. It was particularly suited to flushing pill boxes, woods and built-up areas and highly respected by those who used it, and feared by the Germans. This manual is a typescript manuscript covering the equipment and its maintenance together with a number of observations on its use. It is extremely rare, and this reprint is an essential tool in any study of infantry-tank cooperation or of the characteristics and use of specialised armour. Not to be missed!

This is the Final report of 79th Armoured Division written and published in 1945 (and marked 'Secret'). It is a companion to our other publication on the 79th Armoured Division - The Characteristics and Tactical Employment of Specialised Armour. (See also "The Story of 79th Armoured Division"). The book covers all equipment used or proposed by 79th Armoured Division, together with details of the function of the Division, and the operational employment of specialised armour (but not in the detail of the title noted above). The meat of this volume covers the organisation and tactical techniques used, and the special AFVs employed: the DD Tanks, Buffaloes, Flails, Crocodiles, Kangaroos, and other exotically named tanks and vehicles. It covers mine clearing, flamethrowing and armoured engineer equipment, and gives details of new special equipment. The book is a compendium not just for engineers and tank men, but is for infantry- and artillerymen as well - giving details of the type of support available from 'Hobart's funnies' on D-Day and afterwards. Fully illustrated with many diagrams of equipment and photographs from the battlefields.

Highly recommended because of the illustrations, which show how these devices worked and the components. Also shows how booby traps were set up and operated. The pamphlet includes foreign mines in use.

General Burkhart Mueller-Hillebrand was a very experienced armour specialist in the German Army, and published two good handbooks on German tanks after the war.

The paper also looks at allocations of AFVs to theatres.

This is a reprint of the manual for the famous British 3.7-inch antiaircraft gun which served throughout the war and had many aircraft to its credit. It was often thought that it could be the equal of the German 88 and also be used as an antitank gun, but this manual will show that weight and operating systems of the static version would not make this possible, nor would the ammunition. A complete manual on the gun it covers every aspect of it including the gun itself, its mounting, sighting and ammunition. Illustrated with 37 A3 plates with more than adequate photographs. This is a gem, and is worth the price for the information it contains and the drawings.

The 4.5 inch Howitzer of 1927 was an improved weapon which benefitted from WWI experience. This is the complete manual of the gun and includes details of the gun, the carriage, sights, limber and ammunition wagon, stores and ammunition.

Books of this period published by the War Office were well printed and the illustrations were an example in clarity which has never been surpassed. Well worth the purchase price for a rare item.
