Collector's World Combat Helmets books.
Hello everyone, here is the place to present your World Combat Helmets books.
By World Combat Helmets I mean the "other" often less known steel & composite helmets starting with the 20th Century mass production of combat helmets.
Don't get me wrong here, the German, British & American World Wars helmet books already have their threads.
Let me start with a work of love by 3 French collectors. Their work in 3 volumes took 20 years to complete, the original editor of the first volume quit because of low sales. That did not stop the project but did slow it down. The second volume was financed personally by the 3 authors. The 3rd volume could not be released until enough money came back from the sale of the second volume. After a few years they were able to release it, the 3rd volume(400 + pages included more photos, updates & corrections from the previous volumes. This project was also possible with the help of many passionate world wide collaborators.
This encyclopedia is a must. In French.
Volume 1 & 2 are available (second hand), volume 3 is very hard to find.
