The Yanks are Coming!
by Tom Laemlein
When the U.S. entered WWI in the latter part of 1917, the American
Expeditionary Force went to war without enough rifles and no
indigenous machine guns. By late 1918 however, the American forces
were well equipped with a broad range of weapons, including the
advanced .45 cal M1911 pistol, the Browning Automatic Rifle,
and the .30 cal M1917 machine gun. This photo study shows the
full range of American weapons of WWI, plus French, British and
Italian small arms in U.S. hands, as well as American use of
French and British tanks.
Price is $36 for USA orders and $44 for International orders
(postage is included in the price)

German Machine Guns 1914–1945
A Study in Photographs
by Tom Laemlein
From the beginning of the Great War through all the battlefronts
of World War II, Germany’s machine guns were among the most feared
of all infantry weapons. This unique photo study covers
every major German infantry machine gun in action—the MG08, MG08/15,
MG13, MG15, MG34, MG42 and a host of captured machine guns impressed
into German service. The images come from a wide range
of international sources, official and private, with dozens of
unpublished images originating from the German troops themselves.
This is a unique study in photographs, designed for gun collectors,
re-enactors, military historians, and modelers.
Price is $35 for USA orders and $44 for International orders
