Volume 100 - 1st printing. "Women at War 1939–45!" Written by Jack Cassin-Scott. Art by Angus McBride. Though for centuries fighting was considered primarily a man's job, the world wars of the 20th century demanded women's involvement in the war effort. By World War II women were playing a major auxiliary role in all branches of the armed forces.

Numerous fascinating photos and eight full colour plates detail the uniforms and equipment of the British, American German and Russian women who participated in this global conflict.
