"Allied vehicles of D-Day" highlights the extreme mechanization of this Allied army that rarely moves on foot. Indeed, the first of the great victories won by the Allies is above all a logistical battle.
Tens of thousands of vehicles of all tonnages will stretch out in immense convoys along the main French roads to allow the infantry and armored divisions to push the enemy to the gates of the Reich.

From the simple motorcycle to the tank, from the Jeep to the GMC, including the half-track and special vehicles, it is the entire American and British military arsenal that landed in a few days on the beaches of Normandy that you will find in this book.

U.S. Army 1944 - Les marquages des véhicules 1944

Authentic markings for American trucks, jeeps and tanks of World War II have always been a delicate and complex subject, as it is closely linked to the organization of the American army.
This guide is designed as a simple tool intended for collectors of historic vehicles as well as model makers to help them in the restoration of their machines or the creation of faithful scale models.
After a description of the types of machines and vehicles produced by the Arsenal of Democracy, including those that can be found in collections and museums, several chapters abundantly illustrated with period photos and explanatory color drawings go into detail on the organization of units, nationality and unit markings, registration numbers and camouflage.

New information on the embarkation codes used during the Normandy landings are highlighted, as well as the regulations applicable to air force vehicles.
A work that is indispensable for its ease of use and its informative content, for the first time on the subject in French.
