Post by Ex_Pat_Tanker »

Rather than fragment things with everybody having his own thread, lets try and keep things short and sweet here! Post what books you have so that other members can PM you for specific info that they are maybe struggling to find online:
My personal collection:
Panzer Colours volumes I, II, and III
Janes Armour and Artillary 1990/91, 2005/06
Janes Military Vehicles and Logistics 2006/07
Janes Land Based Air Defence 2005/06
probably about 60% of the early 1980's Orbis "History of WW2" series, spanning 1939 to late 1944 - but missing a couple of volumes because I loaned them out and the b******s never returned them!!!  >:( - lots of photo's and campaign maps.
Also a couple of the early '80's "War Machine" magazine series as well - American WW2 tanks and 1950's tanks (they're around here somewhere, I think?)

hmm but this idea of having it all under 1 topic makes it a bit of a waste having its own board :(

The Panzer Colours series is well worth the money - a lot of great stuff in there

i have a pile of books far to many to list .. but heres a great book cover may ww2 armour in colour plates and the couours are quite accurate !

WWII tank encyclopaedia ...in color 1939 - 45 by jean restayn ..

isbn 978-2-915239-47-8

9 out of ten as its only covers turreted mbts.. so no stugs or the like .... which i think could be the second book to follow .. but still a craccking book with accurate plates for paint jobs ... yes a very cool book
