Military Vehicles in Preservation
About this book
Whenever people are asked about military vehicles, the first things that usually come to mind are jeeps and tanks. Although those vehicles did make up the majority of vehicles used by armies across the world, they are only part of a much larger and wider ranging selection. These include trucks, transporters, tracked vehicles, armoured personnel carriers and heavy artillery guns.
The preservation of military vehicles movement began in the UK in the 1960s and has continued to gain momentum ever since. Now, many vehicles live out their days in the hands of preservationists, who take them to events and shows around the country.
In this book, Royston Morris presents a wealth of full-colour images and informative captions to showcase the variety of vehicles regularly on display.
