Weltkrieg; New guns in WW1; Combating enemy aircraft from the ground by B A. K. and Flak. Also included are infantry guns, mountain guns and the entire flak.

The six volumes of the complete work contain the detailed history of the development of the armament of the Royal Bavarian Army from its elevation to the Kingdom until the armistice in the First World War. The detailed, easy-to-understand text as well as a large number of illustrations and dimension sheets convey all the information worth knowing in a previously unpublished range within one coherent work. The description of the weapons is partly based on official information and has been taken over almost verbatim in some passages in order to preserve authenticity.
