Ranger, Alan 3.7 Flak 18/36/37

Volume 20 in the "Camera On" series is the first to cover an anti-aircraft weapon alone and whilst there have been a few books covering medium German 37 mm Flak weapons before, the 37 mm Flak 18/36/37 has never been covered in such photographic depth. This truly historically significant weapon along with the other German 37 mm weapons it evolved into are illustrated in this book that contains more than 160 photos. Nearly all of the photos being from the authors collection that were originally taken by ordinary German soldiers not professional propagandists. In this volume we endeavour to show this rarely illustrated equipment in detail but still show it as the soldiers viewed it as both their work place and in some cases also their home, not the highly posed and polished views of the official photographers.This book is an invaluable reference for military historians and modellers alike.

The majority of the photos have not yet been published and all come from German sources, although most of them are private photos taken by ordinary German soldiers and not by members of the propaganda organisations. The author shows the vehicle as the soldier saw and used it in action, namely as his place of work or battle. This book is an invaluable reference for vehicle enthusiasts and modellers.
