--In warfare, the best weapon isn't always the most advanced or powerful. In fact, many of the machines that changed the course of World War II were inferior to those fielded by the enemy. But they made up for what they lacked in capability by being quick and easy to build.
Drawing on the vast resources of Britain's world famous Imperial War Museum, BATTLE STATIONS tells the stories of four such machines and the battles in which they proved their worth: the Dakota transport plane and D-Day; the Sherman tank and the breakout from Normandy; the Spitfire fighter and the Battle of Britain; and the "Duck" amphibious vehicle and the crossing of the Rhine.
Each volume of this extraordinary set chronicles the design, development and deployment of these pivotal weapons, bringing their stories to life with the help of incredibly detailed reconstructions that give viewers a combatant's-eye view of what they were like in battle. Military historians detail the distinctive characteristics that made them so successful, and American, British and German WWII veterans share their combat experiences.
