This visually stunning book displays many fine examples (original or faithfully recreated) of the art that adorned the military vehicles of both Allied and Axis forces. Both official unit markings, such as divisional badges and unit emblems, as well as decidedly less official renderings of pin up girls and cartoon characters are included. John Norris's concise but well researched text and extended captions set the artwork in context and explain the development of vehicle art through the course of the war and in the various armies. The result is a visual treat for the casual reader and a valuable reference for reenactors, vehicle restorers, wargamers and modelers."--$cBook jacket. 606 $aVehicles, Military 615 0$aVehicles, Military. 676 $a355.621 700 $aNorris$b John$0828036 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155124603321 996 $aVehicle art of world war two$93407678 997 $aUNINA
