In this book, a follow-up to the same author’s well-received study of British web equipment, Martin Brayley gives a detailed illustrated overview of the webbing straps, holsters, carriers and haversacks used by American combat troops from before World War One to the Vietnam War. Hundreds of different items are photographed, and the often small differences between suppliers and periods are pointed in the learned and informative text. This book will be required reading for all students of America

Review by Gregory Metternich for American Web Equipment: 1910-1967 (Europa Militaria)

I bought this book because I cast and paint metal toy soldiers. This book was very useful for showing various equipment configurations and also various colours used. Often when painting figures, one can get caught up in striving to get the colour “historically accurate.” Soemtimes it can become an obsession. This book shows, without intending to, that fabrics can, and do, fade and that colours can often be at artist discretion. Also, since so much US gear is produced from multiple factories and with different dye lots, it helps to see other colour possibilities.
The photographs are wonderful and most are in colour. There are several b/w photos which are used to show equipment in historical context. The text can be a bit dry at times but I bought it for the photos and identification of what can sometimes be frustratingly difficult to identify pieces of equipment.

I have always been interested in militaria, and I wanted to know just how varied “uniform” equipment actually was back then. This book that is a good start for anyone interested in this topic. It’s laid out in simple, straightforward, and comprehensive fashion. I am sure there are more detailed works out there, but as an introduction, this book fills the bill nicely.

American Web Equipment: 1910-1967 is a good, but not excellent reference book detailing US issue field gear from pre- WWI to the Vietnam era. Although the book does not go into depth in it’s description of each item, or include much information on manufacturers marks, it does well in discussing the development of web gear in general and the US issued items specifically. Lots of good pictures make this a reference edition that a true collector should not be without and a good starting point for an in depth look at issued gear.
