This visually stunning book displays many fine examples (original or faithfully recreated) of the art that adorned the military vehicles of both Allied and Axis forces. He has written fifteen books on various military historical subjects.
I ordered this as a very keen military vehicle book collector and was surprised that such an obscure subject had finally made its way into print . Sadly John Norris has fallen into a trap often encountered by other Authors and that is to take restored /reproduction items as definitive examples of a genre . Aviation nose art has quite a well researched following and I expected to see a similar approach but John has gone for the " well I have painted mine like it cos I have seen some pictures that it could of been painted like it ...." school of restoration thinking . The author also seems to run out of steam half way through the book and becomes confused about the subject he is trying to illuminate , sorry John this is not the definitive masterwork on the subject and that remains to be written , but as a general "well it looked a bit like this " book its fine .
