Got my copy last week ( Thanks to Hobbyeasy ). Lots of great pictures of these vehicles doing what they best, Recovering other vehicles. Some of the photos have been seen before but there are plenty of new ones, as well. Worth every penny.

I got my copy at a show a week ago. I've gone through it a couple of times now, always finding more details I missed before. The photos are excellent and this is a valuable reference. I bought it mainly for the M31 and M32 photos. I wish it had more on the M31, but it is an outstanding resource. Great detail photos and tons of stowage ideas!
Best,
