PAINTED STEEL
Chris Armold

From the author of "Steel Pots: The History of America's Steel Combat
Helmets" comes "Painted Steel: Steel Pots, Vol. II." This companion volume
features detailed chapters on painted and unit marked helmets of WWI
and WWII, plus a variety of divisional, regimental and subordinate markings.
Special full-color plates detail subordinate unit markings such as the tactical
markings used by the U.S. 2nd Division in WWI. In addition, insignia and
specialty markings such as USN beach battalion, Army engineers, medics,
MP and airborne division tactical markings are examined. For those
interested in American armored forces, a complete chapter is devoted to
the history of the U.S. tank and combat vehicle crewman's helmet from
WWI to present. Other chapters provide tips on reproductions and fake
representations of U.S. helmets and accessories. With over 1,000
photos and images (many in color), "Painted Steel" will be
a prized addition to any collector's reference bookshelf.
