This is an essential reference work for the collector and historian alike, this book traces the evolution of both clothing and equipment as the quartermasters met the challenge of changing demands and attitudes - from the first years of the century through two world wars. The First World War altered the US Army dramatically, turning it into a large, modern fighting force, with all the consequent demands for mass-produced uniforms and equipment. By the time the US entered the Second World War, American technology, innovation, and manufacturing industry had combined to make the American forces the best equipped in the world. The vast range of items with which the Americans went to war is fully reflected in the text and illustrations of this encyclopedic volume, including:

• Headgear
• Clothing
• Footwear
• Webbing
• Field Equipment
• Weapons
• Sports and Leisure
• Personal Items
• Miscellaneous Items
