Italian AFVs in WW II Action!
Paging through Nicola Pignato's survey of Italian World War II tankettes, tanks, armored cars and other AFVs, you wonder: what was more dangerous duty - being assigned as a crewman in an Italian tank or a German sailor on a U-boat? This Squadron/Signal photo-history doesn't answer that question but it does give the reader a nicely illustrated introduction to the subject of Italian AFVs.

Wayne Patton
Squadron Signal Publications, 2006
Nicely Done Summary of IJN Heavy Cruisers!
Japan's WWII heavy cruisers hold a fascination all their own, their massive 'pagoda' superstructures seemingly a random piling of deck upon deck. As speedy as they were top-heavy, they bristled with four or five turrets and deadly 'Long Lance' torpedoes. In action throughout the war, they established a reputation as heavy hitters. Author Wayne Patton summarizes these fascinating warships in this ...

B-25 Mitchell in Action - Aircraft No. 34 2 reviews
Ernest R. McDowell
Squadron/Signal Publications, 1978
Adaptation: The Way Wars are Won
Although only 50 pages in length, these books are enough to fuel the imagination and tell you about planes with enough detail that you feel like you understand a little more on the arifights that went on during WWII (or other actions, depending on the books you pick up). The "in action" books are good that way - they give you a synopsis of the plane that includes a (1) a why, (2) a when, (3) a ...

T-34 in action1 review
Steven Zaloga, James Grandsen
Squadron/Signal Publications, 1983
Excellent Photo Essay on the T-34
This Squadron/Signal publication was the first serious attempt to document in photographs the development of the Russian T-34 tank. Author Zaloga is one of the foremost experts on Soviet era armored fighting vehicles, and he did an excellent job considering that this was published before the fall of the Warsaw Pact opened up the Russian state archives. The book has a wide format, and the pictures ...
