Paperback. Condizione: New. The importance of land transport vehicles within an armed force is often underestimated by the average reader, attracted by more 'martial' subjects such as tanks and artillery. Nevertheless, it was thanks to motorcycles, cars, trucks and tractors that - since the early years of the twentieth century - men, weapons, ammunition, provisions, fuel, equipment and orders were transported, all elements without which AFVs, guns and infantry are unable to fight. Volume 2 examines medium and heavy trucks, artillery tractors, special purpose vehicles and trailers. The main text is complemented with appendices on vehicle coloring and markings, manufacturers, production facts and further details.It is a common opinion that the Italian Army was beaten above all because of the poor quality of its combat vehicles. Impartial and in-depth studies, made since the end of the war, have revealed that the main problem was the shortage of vehicles, as well as an entirely insufficient logistics chain. The tank crews were able to compensate with bravery and experience for the fact that their tanks were, from a certain point on, inferior to those of their enemies, but the inadequate number of AFVs and other materiel was impossible to remedy. The same problem plagued the entire sector of military soft-skinned vehicles, a sign of Italy's limited industrial capacity (and of procurement of raw materials and components) compared, for example, to its ally Germany. There were too few factories, too few skilled workers, and poor management skills within the armed forces.models of efficient, robust and resistant vehicles were produced, especially in the sector of the so-called 'standardized' motor vehicles. These vehicles allowed the Italian troops to move and fight in the large and difficult territories of North Africa, the Balkans and the Soviet Union and brought home what was left of the defeated soldiers.This is the first English-language study describing the soft-skinned vehicles of the Italian Armed Forces, starting from the 1930s, when Mussolini's Italy faced some colonial conflicts and participated - albeit unofficially - in the Spanish Civil War, and throughout the Second World War. For each vehicle there is a file describing its evolution and the main technical aspects, accompanied by one or more photographs and, for the most significant examples, line drawings. The work is enriched by a historical introduction, various appendices and color profiles.

Brossura. Condizione: new. A cura di Chistè F. Illustrazioni di Calò R. Trento, 2023; br., pp. 351, ill. b/n e col., cm 21x30. L'importanza dei mezzi di trasporto terrestre all'interno di una forza armata è spesso messa in second'ordine rispetto ad argomenti considerati più "marziali" come i carri armati e armi di vario tipo. Eppure, fin dai primi anni del Novecento, proprio grazie a motociclette, automobili, autocarri e trattori fu possibile trasportare sui fronti di guerra uomini, armi, munizioni, vettovaglie, carburante, equipaggiamento, nonché consegnare comunicazioni e ordini; tutti elementi senza i quali i mezzi corazzati, i cannoni e la fanteria non sono in grado di combattere. Questo volume, formato 29,7 x 21 di 352 pagine e corredato dalla presenza di oltre 800 immagini in b/n e a colori con numerosi disegni tecnici e 8 pagini di profili a colori, è frutto delle minuziose ricerche effettuate dagli autori nella documentazione delle aziende produttrici e in molti archivi italiani e stranieri. In esso è narrata l'evoluzione tecnica e l'impiego sul campo di motoveicoli e autoveicoli - spesso di derivazione civile - in servizio nelle Forze Armate Italiane e nei vari corpi paramilitari (come la Polizia dell'Africa Italiana e la Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale) dal 1930 al 1945. Un periodo storico che copre le attività militari italiane in Africa settentrionale e orientale, la partecipazione "non ufficiale" alla Guerra di Spagna e, infine, le vicende su tutti i fronti terrestri della seconda guerra mondiale. Pressoché tutte le case motociclistiche e automobilistiche italiane fornirono i loro mezzi per supportare gli sforzi bellici dell'Italia negli anni Trenta e Quaranta, spesso creando modelli efficaci o innovativi i cui nomi rimangono ancora nell'immaginario popolare, come la moto Guzzi Alce, l'autovettura Fiat 508 CM, gli autocarri Fiat 626, Bianchi Miles e Lancia 3 Ro, i vari "Dovunque", i trattori Pavesi e SPA. Attraverso la descrizione tecnica di questi veicoli vengono ripercorse le tappe della loro ideazione, della loro produzione in serie e - soprattutto - delle mansioni da essi svolte su fronti di guerra lontani dalla madrepatria e di complessa gestione per una catena logistica che si dimostrò tutt'altro che efficiente, nonostante il sacrificio degli uomini in divisa. Gli autori sono tutti studiosi del campo militare, ben noti agli appassionati per le loro numerose realizzazioni editoriali in Italia e all'estero nel campo dei veicoli militari, e che hanno dato alle stampe numerosi titoli anche per il GMT.
