In this book, a follow-up to the same author's well-received study
of British web equipment, Martin Brayley gives a detailed
illustrated overview of the webbing straps, holsters, carriers and
haversacks used by American combat troops from before World War One
to the Vietnam War. Hundreds of different items are photographed,
and the often small differences between suppliers and periods are
pointed in the learned and informative text. This book offers
collectors and students of militaria a detailed and authoritative
review of the development of the US Army's web equipment. It tells
the story from the first M1910 set taken to France by the
'Doughboys' of World War One to the M1956 and its M1967 replacement
worn by the 'grunts' in Vietnam. Superbly illustrated with more
than 100 full-colour photographs. Martin Brayley is a prolific
collector of military equipment and is a photographer by
profession.
