Forgotten Archives 2

Forgotten Archives 2: The Lost Signal Corps Photos by Darren Neely

The second instalment in the ‘Forgotten Archives’ series sees author Darren Neely delving deeper into obscure and hitherto unknown archives for rare and unpublished US Signal Corps photographs. Forgotten Archives 2 builds on the groundwork laid in Forgotten Archives 1, with significantly more input from surviving Signal Corps photographers and their families, who show their photographs here for the first time since World War 2.

This 240-page book features 252 clear, high-quality photographs of US and German fighting vehicles and is complemented by eight pages of specially commissioned colour artworks by Felipe Rodna which bring the subjects to life. Once again, this book is a must-have for the student of military history, armour enthusiast or model maker.
