Beginning in World War I, with the introduction of the steel helmet
this book charts the development of protective equipment for
soldiers and security forces. Initially body armour was seen as a
military luxury that could be ill-afforded. However, the success of
'flak suits' as worn by some bomber crews during World War II
convinced the armed forces of the need to develop protection for
the ground soldier against small arms fire. The scientific
development of the modern flak jacket is traced as are the field
trials conducted in Korea and later Vietnam. Extensive
illustrations and photographs accompnay the text.
