This is a bit of a departure from the books that we normally expect to see from Military Mode. Rather than a photographic catalog of rare and exciting artifacts, it is something of a Rosetta Stone, a key to deciphering the very complex system of colored unit recognition insignia developed by the BEF during the Great War. The Imperial War Museum reached out to all units of the British Army after the Armistice, asking them to reply with details on their own specific unit identification color patches and painted insignia. Not all replied, but many did. Kevin Beckhurst, a collector and researcher, sorted through this primary source material decades later to produce a massive (31cm x 22cm x 10cm), one-off, hand illustrated tome entitled 'WWI BRITISH INSIGNIA 1914-1919'. From Military Mode's introduction: "The original book was found in London in the 1980's, languishing on a shelf within a militaria shop, thought to have been there since the 1960's. With the aid of historian and graphic designer Branislav Radovic we have been able to transpose the information into this modern format and hopefully the efforts will assist collector, model makers and historians alike."

Feldzug 1918

This long-awaited reference is finally here! Hardback, 220 pages covering the development and production of the German Helmet in WWI. Using high resolution images and in-depth information from world renowned collector and historian Oliver Lock. The book covers early rare prototypes never seen before and features helmets right through the changes in patterns as well as stunning camouflage examples in previously unpublished period images. How do we defend against the increasingly convincing copies of camo helmets on the market these days? Study high-res images of originals! Besides the fact that it is a visually stunning work, this reference imparts invaluable information from one of the world's leading authorities on the topic. The publisher warns, though, that the pre-publication 'look inside this book' images that they have provided are also pre-proofreading. As soon as I can get a copy up on the scanner I will replace these, but knowing that the demand is high and people have been waiting patiently for our pallet of these to arrive, I thought it best to go with what we have and get it out asap. You will love this book!
