Description

Sparkford, Yeovil: Haynes Publishing UK, 2013. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 10 7/8" x 8 1/4", 179 pages, copiously illustrated in black and white and colour. The landing of Allied forces on the shores of Normandy on 6 June 1944 was the greatest amphibious invasion in history. Technology and innovation played crucial parts in the D-Day drama - from tank-carrying gliders, swimming tanks and the Mulberry harbours, to radio and radar aids that ensured landing craft arrived on the right beaches and combat aircraft overhead were controlled. This manual describes the development, construction and use of a wide range of innovative machines, structures and systems, explaining their uses on D-Day and after, and revealing how they contributed to the success of 'Overlord'. Illustrated boards, inscription to previous owner, otherwise a near fine copy. .
