- WWP books include a wide variety of tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, and other aircraft from around the world.
- This issue is a special feature on vehicles used by the British SAS and LRDG during WWII.
- In 1941, British Army Major David Stirling devised a plan to parachute a small number of troops into the rear of the German Afrika Korps and carry out surprise attacks on supply depots and airfields.
- This is the origin of the SAS (Special Air Service).
- Although the first airborne operation was unsuccessful, the vehicle-based infiltration operation proved highly successful, and together with the LRDG (Long Range Desert Group), which was conducting similar operations, they repeatedly carried out surprise attacks on enemy rear areas, contributing to the British victory.
- This time we focus on these SAS jeeps and LRDG trucks that took on tough missions.
- This book is a carefully selected and edited collection of photos taken of precious actual vehicles during our usual thorough research. It is an excellent photo book that allows you to visually understand the SAS and LRDG vehicles of that time, which were said to have no two identical specifications due to the special nature of their missions.
- 72 full-color pages (over 180 photos), softcover, 240x225mm format.
- This is a resource book full of interesting things to see.
