Re: Recognition

The Americans produced a monthly publication called: U.S. Army-Navy Journal of Recognition. Numbers 1-6 were collected into book form by the Naval Institute Press in 1990. "U.S. Army-Navy Journal of Recognition September 1943- February 1994, Numbers 1-6." (Published complete with covers, all black and white.)

I also happened to obtain an original copy of this 8 1/2 x 11 inches publication. The photos published within include military vehicles and aircraft. There is a page of small photos designed to improve the reader's recognition skills. However, one could quickly see how an aircraft against a bright sky and from a certain angle, and traveling at high speed, might easily be mistaken as to type.

The book includes accounts of friendly fire incidents.



Hope this helps,
Ed
