The book is published in the now familiar format of A4 landscape and on very high quality paper and in full colour with all the text in English. The authors are Frantisek Koran, Ales, Knizek, and Michal Burian. Price varies country to country so check with your local book dealer.

It has in its 36 pages the following chapters.

• GAZ 67 under full restoration.
• Maxim Machine gun.
• SG-43 Machine gun.
• Types of loads it could tow.
• BA-64 Armoured Car.
• DShK type 38 machine gun.

The GAZ 67 is split into the usual sections of walk around, vehicle under restoration, reconstruction, engine details, transmission details, front and rear axles assemblies, hood details, interior details, and lastly exterior details. With the added bonus of an original Russian Radio and its antenna. The sections, which stand out in my mind, are those on the engine and the transmission details, as these will enable the scratch builders to make those missing parts in the kits with confidence.

The next section is devoted to the types of weapons the GAZ 67 could safely tow, 45mm Anti tank gun, both models, 76 mm type 43, 57mm Anti tank gun and the 76mm Anti tank gun ZIS 3. They are photographed at the Military Museum Collection at Lesany in the Czech Republic.

The BA-64 is based on the lower chassis and engine of the GAZ 67 it is covered in a 3 page montage of a fully restored vehicle with partial interior shots looking down the open turret.

On a personnel note I wish this section had been available about a year earlier, when I was completing my GAZ 67 and BA 64 for IPMS Notts Korean War project. There is so much I just was not aware of and details that cannot be seen in other publications.

In conclusion, once more Franti has selected a subject that has been poorly or sketchily covered in the past by so called experts in the west. And Franti has picked a winner; the authors are to be congratulated on a job very well done.

With each new edition in the WWP series they are setting themselves ever higher and higher standards and other publications are going to have to raise theirs to compete.

Very highly recommended and should be on all Russian Armour reference selves. With 147 colour photographs packed into its 36 pages it is outstanding value. Buy it now before you miss out, the advance copy kindly sent to me by the editor Franti, my thanks go out to him as always.
