Donald Yates, a U.S. 20-year military veteran is at it again. Yates, author of over 15 military history pictorials, has now released his latest book, U.S. Combat Trucks of World War I. This book focuses more on the importance of sound logistical operations and the need for quick development of state of the art weaponry and support materials. In this case the United States military badly needed the ability to transport weapons and ammunition in a safe and efficient manner. Time is often the difference between life and death in combat. World War I was a war of attrition. Whoever ran out of materials and manpower first was doomed to lose the war. What you see in this book is how the U.S. War Department handled the challenge of obtaining sufficient numbers of transport motor vehicles. What you will find is that by the end of the war they had way more vehicles than they needed. It’s always better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, especially on the battlefield. In this book you’ll find excellent color photos of these early ammunition transport vehicles. You’ll also learn about the Liberty trucks that helped to win the war.
