Expanding of their ever growing range of fine reference books, Osprey Publishing has announced the latest release in their Vanguard range - Landing Craft, Infantry and Fire Support.
The Landing Craft, Infantry was a large beaching craft intended to deliver an infantry company to a hostile shore, once the beachhead was secured. The LCI and its vehicle-delivery counterpart, the Landing Ship, Medium were widely used by the Allies during World War II. Later, the hulls of these ships were used as the basis for a fire support ship. While the landing ships were phased out after the Korean War, some fire support craft remained in use throughout the Vietnam War.
Written by Gordon L. Rottman this book within its 48 pages tells the developmental and operational history of this important tool of American amphibious military strategy that spanned three wars.
Illustrated by Peter Bull this promises to be a fine addition to any reference library.
This book is expected to be available next month and it has a current retail price UK 9.95 pounds.
