Synopsis

A history of these versatile vehicles, with photos and useful information for modelers.   Among the most successful armored vehicles produced by American industry—known as the Arsenal of Democracy—during the Second World War were the M2 and M3 half-tracks. They served on every battlefront and were as recognizable as other famous American wartime vehicles like the Sherman and the Jeep, and around 40,000 were produced between 1941 and 1945.   They were easy to assemble, operate and maintain, and their versatility allowed them to fulfill a variety of purposes. This volume traces the design, development, and manufacturing history of the M2/M3 and describes its operational role within the Allied armies. A selection of archive photographs showing the M2/M3 in action gives a graphic impression of how adaptable these vehicles were and records the range of equipment they could carry. The book is also an excellent source for the modeler, providing details of available kits, together with specially commissioned color profiles demonstrating how the M2/M3 used by different units and armies appeared.

    Laurel and Hardy were a British-American comedy duo act during the early era of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). Starting their career as a duo in the silent film era, they later successfully transitioned to "talkies.” From the late 1920s to the mid-1950s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully.

But there is a way to solve them by learning how to raise your puppy properly and in a positive way.

    In this guide you will learn:Why “getting dominance” over your dog is a bad ideaWhy a dog’s natural pack instincts are the key to a happy relationshipWhy what your dog really needs may not be what you’re giving himHow to choose a dog who’s right for you and your familyTricks you didn’t even know a dog could learnThe real difference between discipline and punishmentHow “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of troubleHow dogs reflect the personality of their owner and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than wanna-be alphasThe importance of observing and understanding your dog’s body language and how to react appropriatelyHow to deal with common health problems and bad behavior
