Description

For centuries fighting was primarily a man's job and this only began to change in World War I. By World War II women were playing a major auxiliary role in all branches of the armed forces. From the daring female fighter pilots of besieged Russia to the heroic American nurses on the front line this book looks at the vital jobs that Women undertook at a time of national crisis. Illustrated with a wide variety of photos and eight full colour plates, the uniforms and equipment of the women of Great Britain, the USA, Germany and Russia that participated in this global conflict, are looked at in detail.
