OUT OF PRINT - COLLECTOR'S ITEM

This work paints a colourful picture — perhaps too colourful given the first weeks of the conflict — of the French army in August 1914.

A concise vademecum for newcomers who will discover the uniforms of "the finest army in Europe" — if not the most powerful — and for enthusiasts who will have a clear, simple and detailed guide to the main dress worn by French troops at the outbreak of the war. André Jouineau presents, subdivision by subdivision, arm by arm, the rest, fatigue and field uniforms of those who were not yet the "Poilus". A short introductory text, synoptic tables and organizational charts round out the picture. Infantry, alpine infantry, chasseurs à pied, cavalry, artillery, engineers, services, Armée d'Afrique, colonial troops, naval infantry.

Built in more than 12,000 units across six main versions, operated by certain air forces into the 1970s, but above all the emblematic aircraft of the Pacific War and a true star of the small screen, the Chance Vought F4U Corsair is unquestionably one of the most famous aircraft in the history of aviation.

The list of contributors also reflects the enthusiasm the...
