"Everyone is familiar with the iconic WWII Jeep, its green paintwork annotated with white letters, numbers and symbols. Unintelligible to the casual observer, these markings were integral to the organization of the U.S. Army on the move in 1944. This uniquely detailed guide covers all markings used on American tanks, tracked and wheeled vehicles, to denote their nationality, registration, unit and bridge classification, plus tactical markings and secret embarkation codes used for the Normandy landings. Hundreds of contemporary photographs are paired with precise color diagrams to show exactly how markings appeared on vehicles in the European Theater of Operations, including their exact measurements, and explaining all variations. A final chapter covers camouflage schemes."--
