Description

Vol. 34 No. 4 ……. Cover: Britain’s 4.5 Gun has proved to be one of this war’s most dependable weapons. It was in its glory in Africa’s open country, but even in the mountains of Sicily and Italy it has proved highly useful for accurate shooting at greater ranges than howitzers can fire. It does not, of course, have the range or punch of our 155-mm gun, M-1; on the other hand its lighter weight gives it greater mobility. The one shown on this month’s cover is on the move in Italy. Smoke in the background is from a forest fire started by German mortar shells. ….. Articles:
