    SOE Equipment Air Dropped in Europe 1940 - 1945

    Hello friends,

    I recently purchased a book written by a very good friend of mine on the subject of 'SOE Equipment Air Dropped in Europe 1940-1945'

    I rarely post about or recommend items but i am so blown away by the photographic content and information in this book that i just had to share!

    If you are into WW2 or Militaria then i have no doubt you will enjoy this book.

    "The objective of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) was to conduct sabotage and espionage operations behind enemy lines.

    This book investigates the methods and ingenuity the SOE invested in the equipment supplied to secret agents and resistance networks in occupied Europe"

    The book itself is A4 size with full colour photos, i have attached a few sample pictures.

    Here is Anders Instagram which i also recommend checking out;

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Hello Steve762,

    If the QC had been better on the time pencils Uncle Adolf would have gone down in flames somewhere en route to the Wolfsshchanze.

    Or was it bad storage?

    I received my copy last Friday. I must say that I am looking forward to studying it in detail.
    There's an incredible amount of work gone into this book.
