Field Artillery Magazine is online!
Permalink   

Hello,

I just came across this fascinating resource and thought I'd pass it on to those who aren't yet aware of it.  "Field Artillery Magazine" is available online here.  They have back issues all of the way back to 1911 that are fully searchable online.  Many articles are illustrated with photos or diagrams.

Enjoy, and be sure to share with the forum any especially interesting items that you turn up!

That is an incredible resource, MarkV, many thanks for sharing it!

Already I have found this fascinating article on the 42-cm Big Bertha, by a Captain Becker, late of a Bertha battery!

Roger,

If you are looking for the great guns, check out these articles:

Sevastopol Gun Dora
- Ok, it's a WWII gun - but WOW!

Paris Cannon
- A detailed technical report written by the British before the end of the war and based largely on fragments of the shells that were collected in Paris during the bombardment!

Paris Cannon
- Photos found after WWII showing the WWI testing of the Paris Gun by Krupp

There are also articles on railroad artillery, siege mortars, trucks, prime movers, & etc. - Just do a search!

Cracking stuff, thank you!

I've posted a link to a great piece about 28cm howitzers (on the 28cm thread), including a photo I've never seen before of the mysterious Erhardt-Rheinmetall weapon.

What a fantastic resource!

You'll love this - development of the caterpillar, from Holt onwards, with great pics of early tractors and the odd SPG:

Haven't had time to read it yet, I'm just downloading stuff that grabs my interest to study later.
