From the American Civil War and the introduction of the metal cartridge in the 1860s up to the present day, The Encyclopedia of Weapons is an accessible reference guide to the most important small arms, armoured vehicles, aircraft, and ships from all around the world. The book ranges from the first Gatling guns to favourites such as the Lee Enfield rifle and the AK-47; in terms of aircraft, the book includes World War I biplanes, World War II Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero fighter, and on to modern stealth aircraft; in naval weaponry, the book features early ironclad submarines, classic ships such as the Bismarck, and the nuclear subs of today; from the first tanks on the Western Front in World War I, such as the Mark V Male, the book covers the development of armoured fighting vehicles, featuring such classics as the Soviet T-34 and modern tanks like the M1 Abrams. With an entry per page, each weapon is illustrated with two colour artworks – some of them cutaways – a colour or black-and-white photograph, an authoritative history on its development, production, and service history, and a box of essential specifications. Featuring more than 400 entries, The Encyclopedia of Weapons is a fascinating reference work on the most important tanks, guns, military ships, and aircraft over the past 150 years.
