This new, extensively researched volume is a comprehensive guide to the history, development, wear, and use of uniforms and equipment during America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Included are insignia, headgear, camouflage uniforms, experimental items, modified items, flak armor, boots, clothing accessories, paper items, and personal items from 1965 to 1971, all examined in great detail. Using reconstructed photos, the author recreates the look and appearance of the American soldier in Vietnam. Rangers, medics, scouts, RTOs, machine gunners, Pathfinders, and riflemen are all here and accompanied by detailed text. For the first time, see the easily recognizable dating system used by the U.S. Government supply system to date items on the manufacturer tag. A helpful appendix shows, for the first time ever, all forms of postwar gear such as ALICE and camouflage like BDUs and the Rapid Deployment Force pattern, and all those that were never used in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Included is also an easy-to-follow, detailed description of each item along with a comparison showing the actual wartime-produced item side by side with the undesirable, so the collector, historian, or re-enactor will never make the mistake of utilizing postwar-produced items again. Packed with over 500 detailed color photographs and over 100 never-before-seen original photos from veterans, as well as many close-ups, this book fills an important gap in the collector's reference library and will be invaluable for collectors, living historians, re-enactors, modelers, curators, and artists alike.
