Lai, Benjamin561 GROUND FORCES IN THE KOREAN WAR 1950-53 (2): The US Army and US Marine Corps Examines the evolving uniforms and personal equipment used by US ground forces in the Korean War. In June 1950, US soldiers and Marines deployed in the Korean War were dressed and equipped largely as they had been in the closing stages of World War II. By 1953, major innovations had transformed their appearance. Features eight pages of specially commissioned artwork alongside carefully chosen photographs, some never previously published, this study charts the evolution of the US troops' uniforms and gear through three years of bitter fighting. Details the uniform and equipment shortages that led to the need for cold-weather clothing. In 1951, the beginnings of position warfare offered the opportunity for soldiers and Marines to customize their uniforms and gear. Flak jackets were introduced in both services. The infantryman's basic load lightened substantially, with men on the line often requiring little more than their fatigues, flak vest, and helmet. All of these developments are explained and depicted. Contains eight color artwork plates; black & white photographs and illustrations.1 vol, 48 pgs 2025 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-pb, available late April 2025 ......$20.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our MAA
