Modern Artillery brings together 300 of the most important examples
of artillery used or designed since 1900. Beginning with the guns
that pounded the trenches in World War I, the book details all the
major forms of artillery in service throughout the century. From
hand-held anti-tank devices, anti-aircraft guns and field pieces of
World War II to the recent tactical and strategic missiles, the
book provides a wide survey of the development and use of
artillery, with the entries conveniently placed into categories for
easy reference. Each artillery piece featured is illustrated by a
full-colour artwork and accompanied by a detailed specifications
table giving the country of origin and technical details of the
weapon, including where appropriate the calibre, elevation, muzzle
velocity, traverse and range, all measurements being provided in
imperial and metric. Each entry also contains a piece of text
summarizing the weapon's development and service history. Presented
in a handy, pocket-book size, arranged by type and with 300 colour
illustrations, Modern Artillery is an authoritative and accessible
reference work, which will appeal to anyone with an interest in
military technology.
