story continues below...

This highly illustrated book contains 255 photographs and looks at the long-range artillery gun of the title in every conceivable angle. From the wheels of its railway carriage up to the muzzle of its mighty barrel, the gun is photographed in detail. These are accompanied by extended captions which are informative for background details and operational history and specifications.

This is a book for modellers that want to get it absolutely correct. It even includes a set of drawings to the scale of 1/72. There are two examples of this weapon still in existence. One is in America and the other at a museum in Calais, France. Seeing them up close is amazing and this book does justice to the engineering skills that produced these formidable weapons. No other reference book is needed for the modeller attempting to build this.
