Quote from: "Prof.Witchheimer"
WW1 Uniform encyclopedia



when I first read this post I'm found something familiar about these ilustrations...

Now I remmember! these are from the Funcken books!  :love:  it was a great collection about military uniforms! if you in fact have a cyrilic version of the publication then it was definetly a good buy since these books are part of one of the greatest uniform book collections of all time! and of course a trully collectors item (although the original ones were in french)

 :wink:
Cheers,
Pedro

Not one, but eight - the first 8 titles of the French comics 'Les Tuniques Bleues', set in the ACW.
Quite historically accurate too, it seems. In Les Bleus de la Marine the  two main characters get transferred from the US Cavalry to the Navy (!) to take part in Hampton Roads.

Ah, I loved those back in the early 90s... it´s those two, isn´t it?



My favourite is the one in which they get sent on a secret mission to Charleston to find out what the hell is blowing up the blockading ships... the "David", Hurrah!

Not exactly the latest books I´ve received, but its an essential read for pulpy goodness (I got them all this year):

World War Z (Z is for Zombie) by Max Brooks (son of Mel :D)


Zombie Survival Guide (don´t get caught in a Zombie invasion without one) by the same Max Brooks


My Tank is Fight! (Weird WW2 inventions) by Zack Parsons


The Life Eaters (comic - Norse mythology and ww2)


All excellent reads :D

The other two I know about but the last ones look very interesting. What's My Tank is Fight! about?

Hammer:

Weird ww2 Inventions: USS Habbackuck (Spell?); Vampyr Night Vision Sights, German Lunar Station...etc. For each one there is a description of how far the project really went, and a short fiction on how the employment of said invention would have been. :D

Hi Folks,

I'm a bit late with these books I'm showing you, but with Alex and Africa a day I thought I'd try and show my Africa a day book collection as some of these maybe of interest to some of you lovely folk. Most of my collection dates back a few years and more.

I'm sure Peder will like one of the books :)

So without much further ado here are the first of my book collection on Africa:
