Volume 11 - 1st printing. "M3 Infantry Half-Track 1940–73!" Written by Steven J Zaloga. Art by Peter Sarson. As armoured warfare tactics matured, mechanised infantry became a key ingredient in what is now called 'combined arms' doctrine. For the US Army of World War 2, the most important technical aspect of infantry mechanisation was the development of the M3 half-track personnel carrier. Steven Zaloga guides the reader through the early 1930s development of the half-track, its first deployment in action in the Philippines in 1941 and its varied and vital role in international deployments since World War 2. This authoritative text also examines the operators of half-tracks and the troops that they carried. Softcover, 48 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 12 - 1st printing. "BMP Infantry Fighting Vehicle 1967–94!" Written by Steven J Zaloga. Art by Peter Sarson. The Russian BMP infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) was one of the most significant innovations in infantry tactics in the latter half of the 20th century. Built in response to the threat of nuclear warfare, it was the world's first IFV, providing the infantry squad with unprecedented firepower, mobility and protection. With over 55,000 manufactured since 1966, the BMP is also numerically one of the most important armoured vehicles ever built. This richly illustrated book examines the development and design of the BMP, detailing its armaments, performance in combat and variants. Softcover, 48 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.95.
