Wow, it has been to long since I posted. I have checked in to read on occasion but have not posted in a while.

Anyway, I got a couple of these books for Christmas. The Bradley and the Armored Car. I had a hard time shelling out my Christmas money for these, but they are worth the cost in my opinion. There are a ton of pictures I have never seen and a lot of versions of vehicles I have never seen. I haven't read a lot from them yet but there seems to be just about everything there is to know about the vehicles that is not classified. If you have thought about purchasing one of the Hunnicutt books do it, you will be happy. One thing that was a slight disappointment to me was the amount of information about the M2/3 Bradley. I was happy that the Bradley book covered a lot of other fighting/support vehicles so I guess thats a wash, in any case I am glad I got it.

It's feels good to post here again. I went from having too much time on my hand to not having enough in about a weeks time but I am finaly getting caught up so I should be posting more and more all the time.

Hey - great to read you posting again Andrew!

I'm into the Hunnicutt books too - I've got 8 out of 10 now - always looking out for a good deal on FIREPOWER and PATTON to complete my collection...

I only have 3, 2 of them got lucky in Knoxville and found them (pershing and patton) the third is the Sherman but had it for awhile. Will tell you they are getting harder to find(old ones) and boy the price is going up. BUT good reference material is worth any price.

Hey Drew,

I've got five of his books, and still searching to complete the other five.
