From the publisher: "The 4th volume of German Naval Artillery is fully dedicated to calibres from 40 to 20 mm. This publication is divided into three chapters describing the various calibres. There is Bofors with its 40 mm gun in the first part. The gun had been so effective that it was introduced on the decks of warships as anti-aircraft weapon. The second part is devoted to the famous German anti-aircraft 37 mm guns, used on all Kriegsmarine warships, which description begins with a double SK C/30 gun being used to the end of hostilities. Its development versions and successors are described later in this chapter. There are the 20 mm guns described at the end of the book, starting with the first copies of prototype versions which have been systematically upgraded and after a short period of testing put into mass production and amended the equipment of the Kriegsmarine units.
The collected material was so extensive that the author gave up describing prototype versions and focused on the variants introduced to the service. Thanks to the book being richly illustrated, it was possible to present every calibre of guns in the photographs, drawings and 3D graphics, giving readers more accurate knowledge of the matter. This publication can be particularly helpful for modellers, who will be able to build their ship replicas. "

240 pages, 191 b&w photos, 40 colour photos, 75 drawing sheets, 12 colour plates, 34 3D drawing sheets,From the publisher: "The publication is opened with the second part of a chapter describing Half-Track weapon carrier version. There are all its versions and variants presented on 75 pages of drawings, along with a wide collection of photographs. The next chapter characterizes further development of those vehicle versions, which didn't go into mass production, all illustrated with photographs and fabric sketches. The following one describes war service of Half-Track.
It would be impossible to describe in detail the part it took in II World War and later armed conflicts, due to the common use of the vehicle. Therefore, the Author concentrate on the most important issues, illustrating it with lots of photographs, often unpublished before. Half-Track was used by US Army, USMC, as well as others (mainly thanks to lend-lease supplies). Polish Armed Forces used these both in the West and in the East (in this very region - also after the war). Half-Track service in wars and conflicts in the Middle East and Korea is also included.
The monograph contains a chapter about camouflage and markings of different Half-Track versions, which refers to 12 colour plates. Modeling part contains the list of models and accessories (for their valorization). Publication is supplemented by 34 pages of 3D colour graphics and colour photographs of museum exhibits and currently operational, restored vehicles."
