Volume 2 of our acclaimed Webbing at War Series 'The Other Wartime Sets' is now available to order
This volume looks at the other sets of webbing used by British forces in the Second World War. These sets are far rarer and little has ever been published about many of them, therefore this volume fills an important gap in the historiography and is an essential resource for collectors, modellers, historians and re-enactors. This book covers the Royal Navy’s 1919 Pattern webbing, the Royal Air Force’s 1925 Pattern equipment and the 1939, 1940 and 1944 pattern sets that were used by the British Army. The book covers the history of each set, the components that make up each set of equipment and how to assemble and wear the sets. The book is packed full of colour photographs of surviving pieces, together with period images and diagrams to tell the fascinating story of these forgotten webbing sets. This is an essential volume for all with an interest in webbing design and development and will be a resource you turn back to time and again.
The South African Defence Force was widely regarded as the best military in Africa throughout the final years of the Cold War. This book looks at the uniform, webbing, weapons and personal equipment used by soldiers of this force in the 1970s and 1980s. Packed full of photographs of original pieces drawn from collectors around the world, these are accompanied by period photographs and personal recollections of those who served in the SADF in this period. This full colour book will be an essential resource for historians, modellers and collectors and will bring back memories to all who did national service in this period.
