From the American Civil War and the introduction of the metal
cartridge in the 1860s up to the present day, The Encyclopedia of
Weapons is an accessible reference guide to the most important
small arms, armoured vehicles, aircraft and ships from all around
the world. The book ranges from the first Gatling guns to
favourites such as the Lee Enfield rifle and the AK-47; in terms of
aircraft the book includes World War I biplanes, World War II’s
Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero fighter and on
to modern stealth aircraft; in naval weaponry the book features
early ironclad submarines, classic ships such as Bismarck and the
nuclear subs of today; from the first tanks on the Western Front in
World War I, such as the Mark V Male, the book covers the
development of armoured fighting vehicles, featuring such classics
as the Soviet T-34 and modern tanks like the M1 Abrams. With an
entry per page, each weapon is illustrated with two colour artworks
– some of them cutaways – a colour or black-&-white
photograph, an authoritative history on its development, production
and service history and a box of essential specifications.
Featuring more than 400 entries, The Encyclopedia of Weapons is a
fascinating reference work on the most important tanks, guns,
military ships and aircraft over the past 150 years.
