Illustrated wih over 500 photographs 450 in color and including many detailed close-ups this book brings together an exceptional array of rarely seen combat equipment. From compasses secreted in tunic buttons, to floating rations, and from suits with built-in parachutes, to box-kite radio antennae, youll find it all discussed in this volume. All types of parachutes and harnesses, life preservers and the origin of the Mae West nickname, inflatable boats, survival tools, weapons for self-defense, and even some of the paperwork and personal items carried by the airmen of these two opposing air forces. Study the sophisticated rescue and survival equipment available to Luftwaffe crews, alongside the clever, yet often brilliantly simple devices which enabled so many RAF flyers to evade capture for so long, some eventually making it home through occupied Europe. Like its companion volume Luftwaffe vs. RAF: Flying Clothing of the Air War, 1939-45, this book will be an invaluable reference for artists, collectors, modellers, living history re-enactors and military historians, and should be of interest to anyone with an affinity for the human side of twentieth century military history.

PYE, DAVID THE NATURE AND ART OF WORKMANSHIP 8 1/4 X 11 143 PP.
The phrase "workmanship of risk" means that at any moment, whether through inattention, or inexperience, or accident, the workman is liable to ruin the job. It is in opposition to the "workmanship of certainty", in which the quality of the result is predetermined and beyond the control of the worker. David Pye shows how good workmanship imparts all-important diversity to our visual environment. No-one who works with tools and materials or who designs things for others to make, can afford to without this penetrating book.
