From the wars of antiquity to the recent events in South West Asia,
landing craft and amphibians have been an ever-present sea borne and
battle space asset in one form or another for the commander wanting to
get boots on the ground. Refined during the Second World War with the
introduction of the Amphibian, and again with the perfection of the
hovercraft, the landing craft's finest hour in popular consciousness
occurred on 6 June 1944.
This LandCraft title focuses on Landing Craft and Amphibian development
during the Second World War as versatile sea borne assets. The book also
looks at the post-war evolution of the Landing Craft and Amphibians, and
how the simple concepts of their design remain alive and in use almost a
century later.
This LandCraft title offers the modeler an exciting range of subjects,
era and theater choices, especially those modeling the Second World War.
