Summary: Every page features a drawing, diagram, or photograph
Review: Compiled by James B. Hughes from contemporary sources, The Gatling Gun Notebook: A Collection Of Data And Illustrations is an impressive compendium of black-and-white illustrations and basic factual data about the incredible variety of gatling guns, from their first appearance in 1862, down to 1917 when the last U.S. government manual for the Gatling was printed. Ten gatling gun makers in five countries are extensively covered, and virtually every page features a drawing, diagram, or photograph, with most of them being about century old. The succinct and informative text entries provide invaluable background to each illustration, as well as technical specifications about the gatling gun in question. Simply put, The Gatling Gun Notebook is enthusiastically recommended as being a unique and fascinating resource for firearm and military history buffs.
