Amazing Weapons

If a 2,500-ton tank mounting a turret from the battle cruiser Scharnhorst is your idea of an amazing weapon, then we have just the book for you! In addition to the aforementioned land battleship "Ratte," Amazing Weapons includes 19 other amazing weapons in three time periods: early WWII, late WWII, and post-WWII. Some were completely conjectural, like the Ratte, and some actually made it onto the battlefield, like the 38cm mortar-firing Sturmtiger and bomb-toting Goliath. Also included are plenty of flying weapons such as the Triebflugel, the Hiller Flying Platform, and the X-22, the predecessor of the V-22 Osprey. A very interesting book with lots of detailed and sometimes humorous illustrations, with all text in Japanese (titles in English).
