The scope of this book is impressive. There are very few uniforms of major or minor combatants that are not shown. The details are skimpy, but then, it's "Uniforms of WW2". The illustrations seemed to be copied from photographs and then beautifully colored. The visual impact of this title almost wants me to give it 5 stars. But there is an omission that I cannot ignore. Even though some obscure subjects are pictured, there's no Japanese pilot from either service! Neither is a Japanese tanker pictured. Ok, ok, no big deal you say. But, there are pilots shown for the Czech and Danish Air Forces! There are also a few weapons misidentified. It is an excellent value for the money. It's not an in depth study, or long on history. As it says on the cover, it's...."Uniforms of World War II".
