Heraldry & Regalia of War HC (1973 Beekman House) comic books 1970-1985

1st Printing. As warfare grows more sophisticated, and the colour and romance of earlier ages are forced from the battlefield by the demands of camouflage, the heraldry of war remains to fulfill an enduring need. The colorful range of medal ribbons, badges and insignia are still in use today, while serving a basically functional purpose, continues to provide that sense of unity that is all important when men come to face death in defiance of all they hold dear. This book, magnificently illustrated in full color throughout, shows a cross section of the uniforms, medals and badges, and army, naval and aircraft insignia of two world wars, and illustrates the part played by heraldry in uniting men in a common cause. Hardcover, 9" x 12", 160 pages, full color.
