This booklet offers a detailed look at the German flak tanks "Wirbelwind", "Ostwind" and "Kugelblitz". It shows the vehicles on the basis of contemporary bw-photos in action or during testing and in colour photos, which were taken from still existing museum specimens and clarify all technical details. A number of further colour photos show plastic models of these vehicles, which were made by the well-known model builder Tony Greenland. There are also 11 colour plates showing the camouflage schemes and ammunition types used, and 20 pages of 1/35th scale sketches showing all the vehicle variants. Last but not least, there are wartime strength tables for all units equipped with these flak tanks.
