The Elite
The World's Crack Fighting Men
Part 62
An ORBIS Publication
This is one of a collectable part-work from the 1980s. Issued weekly, copies of this magazine built up into a comprehensive study of the crack fighting forces of the modern world. A brief history of each unit is given, then a detailed account of a famous action that the members of the unit took part in, illustrated with contemporary photos, maps and diagrams.
This edition covers:
-
91st Bombardment Group, USAAF - Europe 1942 - 45
-
6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment - Vietnam 1966
-
U.S. First Special Service Force - Italy 1943
Although issued nearly 20 years ago, this 22 page magazine is in good condition, and the unit detail, original pictures and diagrams of the actions described still make this a valuable and fascinating resource.
