After the publication of the first volume, many readers and collectors pointed out pieces they owned but were missing from the book itself. Although it is nearly impossible to list every piece of equipment issued to U.S. soldiers, the author set about compiling a list of items that should be included in a new edition. All of the chapters in Part One have been revised and expanded (including uniforms, telecommunications and medical equipment) and new sections have been added, including personal equipment, equipment issued during training in the U.S., and items from American prisoners of war in German camps. More than 1000 new items are presented in this completely revised new edition with detailed captions. The second volume of the "G.I. Guide du collectionneur" offers a nearly complete and unparalleled source for those interested and collectors on the uniforms and equipment of American Army troops on the European theatre during World War 2.
