This photo-packed reference “will be of interest to modelers and military historians alike” (AMPS Indianapolis). The ground war in Vietnam pitted a myriad of American tanks, artillery, APC, and trucks against not only the weapons of Communist North Vietnam, but also the terrain. Through archival images, the arsenal of the US Army and USMC are revisited in this informative volume. From the iconic M113 APC to the M48A3 tank, M551 Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle, M151 and M54 trucks, M50 Ontos, M107 and M109 artillery, and M42 Duster, the complete array of vehicles fielded is shown. This book, the first in a series on the US military’s weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and naval vessels of the Vietnam War, offers a highly illustrated reference for those wishing to delve deeper into this conflict.
