iv, 306pp, profusely illustrated in black and white. In laminated, illustrated card covers. 4to. Very gentle edge wear to card covers. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. The Civil Defence Services during the second world war required a range of vehicles, carrying specialist equipment and designed to respond to to the devastation caused by aerial bombing. Ranging from converted lorries and vans during the war to purpose designed vehicles of the post-war Civil Defence Corps, these vehicles played a vital role on the Home Front and in defending the nation from the ravages of war. This volume surveys and relates the history of these vehicles. Single sheet of notes on the works of Alan House loosely laid in.
