News in from Ampersand Publishing has three new publications coming our way covering some American equipment.
Ampersand Publishing has announced three new books for American AFV fans. The first is a new hard cover book covering American half-tracks. This looks to be a great reference for these great utility vehicles made famous during World War 2 and Korean War. Also announced are two additions to the Visual History series with books covering the M103 tank and 6-ton trucks.

I'm super-excited about both the half-track and M103 volumes! Way to go Ampersand. Dave

I'd sure like to see more on the halftrack volume(s).

For me, the Half-Track and Six-Tonners books are a must have. The former is somewhat tempered by the continuing lack of an M5 in styrene and hopefully they'll continue the series with a modeling guide (son of International Harvester perhaps?) As for the M103, didn't I see a vague mention of a highly detailed, accurate and definitive model having escaped under the Black Death label?

I'm really looking forward to the halftrack book. Doyle's Squadron books on the DUKW and the CCKW were excellent works. I have high expectations for this (apparently) 2-vol set on the US halftrack.
