Compact, yet thorough, each volume provides a treasure-trove of data covering almost every facet of World War II, even touching on more obscure subjects. Peppered throughout the volumes are two-page "inserts" highlighting specific weapons' (planes, tanks and ships) technical data along with three colorful profile views (front, top and side) of the particular weapon. This encyclopedia also covers lesser-known topics as well: remote battles, small-arms, propaganda, Luftwaffe plane art, etc
