Military Illustrated Modeller - June 2013
Squadron/Signal Publications
Over 250 books offering a wealth of information
SQUADRON/SIGNAL PUBLICATIONS
MODELLING REFERENCE BOOKS
Squadron Signal Publications is one of the best known and
most extensive ranges of modelling reference books ever
published, featuring high quality photographs of aircraft,
tanks, ships and more in action, as well as an ever-expanding
range of ‘walk-around’ volumes which show the subject
inside and out in crystal-clear photographs - perfect for
superdetailing projects.
The books have been helping modellers to add essential
details, find markings and apply paint schemes to aircraft,
armour and ship models for many years, and the great news
is that Squadron Signal books are now easier to find than ever
before, because ADH Publishing, the company that brings you
this magazine each month, is importing them from the USA.
You can find Squadron Signal at good model and book shops,
and you can also check www.adhbooks.com to see what we
have on offer!

SS27025 - M26 Dragon Wagon Walk Around (Soft Cover)
SS67025 - M26 Dragon Wagon Walk Around (Hard Cover)
Designed by the Knuckey Truck Company with
series production by the Pacific Car and Foundry
Company, the “40-ton Tank Transporter Truck
Trailer M25” - dubbed the “Dragon Wagon” by
enthusiasts - was the largest wheeled vehicle
fielded by the U.S. Army during World War II.
The M25 consisted of the M26 tractor and M15
trailer. Designed to recover disabled tanks and
other heavy armored vehicles from forward areas, the M26 featured a large
and heavily armored cab to protect the crew. Field use, however, indicated
that typically this vehicle was not used in recovery operations during the
heat of battle, so the later-production M26A1 eschewed the armored cab in
favor of reduced weight and increased reliability. As U.S. tanks evolved and
became larger and heavier, an upgraded version of the trailer, the M15A1,
was introduced to accommodate them. During the 1950s the M15A1 was
further modified to the M15A2 standard, which featured a 24-volt lighting
system. As such, these veteran trailers saw service thorough the Vietnam
War and into the 1970s. The M26 and M26A1 remained in the U.S. Army
inventory well beyond the end of WWII - even being employed by NASA to
move the Saturn V rockets that launched man to the moon in the 1960s.
This Walk Around examines the armored and soft-skin versions of this
massive vehicle, and its trailers, through hundreds of color photos and some
of the finest restored examples in existence. The reader is visually taken
over, under, and through these vehicles from front bumper to loading ramp.
Illustrated with over 230 photographs. 80 pages.

The M8 ‘Greyhound’ armored car was the
As it became increasingly apparent that
the United States could not avoid getting
involved in World War II, the U.S. Army
stepped up its efforts at modernization
and industrial mobilization. Toward this
end, the Quartermaster Corps ordered a
series of 4-ton 6x6 trucks from Chicago-
based Diamond T Motor Car Company. The
chassis of the artillery prime mover was
adapted for use a dump truck, a long-wheelbase truck to transport bridging
equipment, and what would become the U.S. Army’s standard medium
wrecker during WWII. The design of the Diamond T was so successful that
it is widely recognized as the forerunner of the Army’s post-WWII M-series
trucks, which were utilized for 50 years. For this book, the finest preserved
examples of the classic Diamond T were sought out and extensively
photographed, resulting in a volume packed with 227 color photographs
augmented by five period black-and-white photos.
The M8 ‘Greyhound’ armored car was the
only armored car used in substantial numbers
by US forces during World War II. The M20,
an offshoot of the M8 design, also played a
number of active roles, in particular serving
as a command car for high-ranking officers in
forward areas. Both vehicles, manufactured
by the Ford Motor Company, went on, after
World War II, serving US and various Allied
forces around the world. Some countries were still using the vehicles at the
turn of the 21st century. The M8 featured an open-top turret in which was
mounted an M6 37mm cannon and coaxial Browning .30-caliber machine
gun. The M20 replaced the turret with an open-topped parapet with a
ring-mounted .50-caliber machine gun. When serving as a command car,
the M20 packed additional radios and a folding map board. This lavishly
illustrated volume is packed with contemporary and historic images that
document not only the vehicles’ configurations as produced, but also their
appearance and activity in the field - the most unique collection of detailed
photos of the Greyhound currently available. Illustrated with over 250
photographs, color profiles and detailed line drawings; 80 pages.

First deployed in combat in Vietnam, the M551
Sheridan is the first U.S. tank to be fully amphibious
and also airborne capable. Though maintenance
problems and issues with the gun-launcher system
caused the M551 to be withdrawn from most active
Army units in the late 1970s, it continued to serve the
82nd Airborne Division as the only armored vehicle in
the Army’s inventory that could be air dropped. With
the 82nd, the Sheridan took part in the U.S. invasion
of Panama in 1989 and in the war against Iraq in 1990-1991. The last M551s were
withdrawn from U.S. service in 2003. Based on photographic studies of various M551s,
volume offers readers the first-ever up close look at the Sheridan. Coverage of the basic
M551 begins with the suspension and works its way around the exterior of the tank,
into the engine compartment and finishes with a detailed look at the vehicle’s interior.
Photos of the sub-variants of the M551 Sheridan, such as the “Product Improvement
Program,” A1, and VISMODs round out this profile of the versatile historic tank.
Illustrated by more than 240 photographs plus eight detailed line drawings. 80 pages.
