These include the strange 'lobber' missile, spy satellites, night-attack systems and nuclear explosion detection devices. Chapters cover history, manufacture, testing results and more and provide plenty of black and white and color photo embellishment: a highly recommended pick any military collection should have. Harry Yeide's Weapons Of The Tankers: American Armor In World War II (0760323291, $24.95) tells how the U.S. Army went from having a near-nonexistent armored force to a world-class fighting unit almost overnight. Chapters not only review tank performance and history, but survey their development, strategies, and soldiers who operated them under impossible conditions. Vintage black and white photos on nearly every page pack the presentation. Russ Byrant and W. David Perks' USMC (0760325324, $19.95) provides a fine survey of the history and experience of the U.S. Marine. It adds to the growing 'Military Power series and reviews the branch's history and structure as well as Marine experiences in war. An impressive selection for military specialty collections and aviation holdings is Grumman F-14 Tomcat The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft.
