U.S.Army Photo Album: Shooting the War in Colour 1941-1945, USA to Eto by Jonathan Gawne
A lost collection of hundreds of previously unreleased color photos of American troops in the months before D-Day has recently become available. Here are the uniforms worn on D-Day and the subsequent campaign in France, but photographed under ideal conditions, by skilled cameramen who could control the lighting and re-shoot to get every detail right. All of the major units stationed in Britain before D-Day are covered, with many details visible that are often obscured in photos taken on active operations.
Gawne, Jonathan: - Jon Gawne is considered one of the leading experts on the history of American Army uniforms and equipment in both world wars. His numerous articles for Militaria Magazine have covered everything from the shortage of winter clothing during the Battle of the Bulge to the history of dog tags. His writings have been translated into many languages, including French, Italian and Czech, and are equally popular in both Europe and the US. He has been a technical consultant for films and museums. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and a small spoiled dog, in a house overrun with books, documents and military memorabilia.
